2013 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · MH54 HAM

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs regarding suspension and braking components. The most recent test in January 2026 at 115,077 miles identified developing play in the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage and nearside front suspension ball joint. While the vehicle passed, these advisories indicate that front suspension geometry is reaching the end of its functional life, marking a progression from the minor issues noted in 2023 and 2025. At 115,077 miles over 13 years, the Peugeot has averaged approximately 8,852 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for its age. The data shows consistent usage intervals, with roughly 10,000 miles driven between January 2025 and January 2026. However, the failure in January 2024 at 96,663 miles reveals a period of neglected maintenance, as the vehicle presented with illegal tyre depths and dangerously thin brake pads, suggesting the previous owner waited for inspection failures rather than performing proactive servicing. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the front end, as the history shows recurring issues with suspension-related wear. The corroded offside front coil spring noted in 2025 should be checked for structural fractures, a common failure point on Peugeot models of this era. Attention is also required on the braking system, specifically looking for uneven wear or scoring on the discs which were already flagged as pitted in 2023. Given the history of worn tyres reaching legal limits repeatedly, the current condition of all four tyres must be verified to ensure no immediate expenditure is required upon purchase.
