2013 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · ND63 ABX

The 2013 Peugeot 3008 shows a stable roadworthiness trend over the past three MOT cycles, with no defects or advisories recorded since the most recent test on 19 June 2025 at 121,301 miles. The vehicle passed without fail in both the 2024 and 2023 tests, though the July 2024 failure—despite identical mileage—appears anomalous and may indicate a temporary administrative oversight rather than a mechanical issue. The absence of recurring advisories or defects suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, though the lack of any recorded faults does not preclude hidden wear in high-stress components. The mileage progression of approximately 9,300 miles per year aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, though the abrupt retest in July 2024 (just one day apart) and the subsequent immediate pass are unusual. The gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests—roughly 13 months—is standard, but the 2024 failure followed by an immediate retest without defects implies either a clerical error or a brief period of neglect before correction. No extended periods of inactivity are evident, which would otherwise raise concerns about suspension degradation or drivetrain corrosion. Given the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, which are prone to fatigue at this mileage. The brakes, while not flagged, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has experienced rapid mileage accumulation. Structural integrity beneath the sills and wheel arches warrants close examination for corrosion, as does the exhaust system for leaks or cracked heat shields. The lack of advisories does not guarantee these areas are sound, and visual confirmation is essential before committing to purchase.
