2015 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · NV15 WMC

The 2015 Peugeot 3008 presents a stable and improving roadworthiness profile as of its most recent MOT on 19 January 2026 at 85,642 miles, where it passed with zero defects recorded. This clean sheet follows a corrective retest on the same day in January 2025, where the tester flagged an incorrectly aimed offside front headlamp alongside worn front tyre edges, both of which were evidently rectified before the pass was issued. The trajectory from minor advisories and a single fail item in early 2025 to a completely clear pass five months ago suggests attentive maintenance in the short term. The mileage accumulation of roughly 7,786 miles per year sits squarely within the typical range for an eleven-year-old vehicle. The recorded intervals show a steady climb from 61,759 miles on 1 February 2023, to 69,285 miles on 6 February 2024, then 78,750 miles on 20 January 2025, and finally 85,642 miles on 19 January 2026, indicating consistent annual use of approximately 7,000 to 7,500 miles with no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps. The gap between the February 2024 and January 2025 tests is slightly shorter than twelve months at roughly eleven months, but the mileage delta of 9,465 miles over that period aligns with the overall annual average and raises no concern about odometer tampering or prolonged standing. A prospective buyer should focus the physical inspection on the front suspension and steering components, given the recurring appearance of edge wear on both front tyres noted in the January 2025 tests. Uneven tyre wear of that nature typically points to worn suspension bushes, deteriorated track rod ends, or misaligned toe settings, and while the faults were flagged as advisory rather than dangerous, the underlying components may have aged further over the subsequent 1,900 miles. The rear brake and suspension assemblies warrant close examination as well, since the 2024 test recorded child seat obstructions preventing full inspection of the rear adult belts, which can mask corrosion or damage in the seat belt mounting areas. Structural rust around the rear subframe, sills, and inner arches should be probed carefully, as these are common failure points on the 3008 platform beyond 80,000 miles. The headlamp aim issue from January 2025, though resolved, is worth verifying in person by checking both beam patterns against a flat surface to confirm the adjustment has held.
