2011 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · MW11 FJV

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the mechanical history indicates a worsening trend regarding deferred maintenance on consumable wear parts. The most recent test in October 2025 at 94,830 miles flagged multiple advisories related to the steering, braking, and suspension systems. While the car passed, the transition from a clean record in 2024 to a list of defects in 2025 suggests that components are only being addressed as they approach failure rather than proactively. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of its age, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. Between October 2021 at 62,920 miles and October 2025 at 94,830 miles, the vehicle covered 31,910 miles, showing a steady but moderate accumulation. This rate limits strain on the drivetrain, yet the low mileage often correlates with age-related degradation of rubber suspension components and corrosion on metal surfaces, which occurs over time regardless of how many miles are driven. A buyer must prioritise inspecting the front suspension geometry, as the record shows a recurring history of issues with the track rod ends, ball joints, and suspension arm bushes. The 2022 test noted worn bushes on the nearside front arm, while the 2025 test identified play in the offside front track rod end. Additionally, the pitting and scoring on both front and nearside rear brake discs noted in 2025 indicate the brakes are reaching the end of their functional life and likely require replacement soon. The repeated mention of uneven tyre wear in both 2022 and 2025 also suggests a persistent alignment issue that should be verified to prevent premature tyre failure.
