2013 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · ML13 KDZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent MOT test in August 2025 at 60,359 miles resulted in an initial failure due to a dipped beam headlamp and a position lamp. While these were rectified for the pass, the tester also flagged advisories for all four tyres being near the legal limit and worn front suspension arm bushes. These issues suggest that the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they trigger an MOT failure rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 60,359 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. This low usage pattern is consistent across the records, showing a steady increase of roughly 6,000 miles between August 2022 and August 2025. However, low mileage often correlates with age-related degradation of rubber components. The advisories from 2022 and 2023 regarding cracking and perishing on the tyres indicate that the rubber is drying out due to time and sitting stationary, despite having remaining tread depth. A buyer must inspect the front suspension closely, as the worn arm bushes identified in the 2025 test are likely deteriorated. These bushes can lead to steering precision issues and uneven tyre wear if not replaced. The front brake discs were already noted as worn and pitted in 2024 at 57,453 miles, so a physical check of thickness and surface condition is essential. Given that all four tyres were flagged as nearing the limit in the latest test, a full assessment of tread depth and side-wall cracking is required to ensure they do not require immediate replacement upon purchase.
