2010 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · PC07 ANG

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass in December 2025 at 138,471 miles. However, the maintenance history reveals a volatile period of mechanical neglect culminating in a major failure just two months prior. While the most recent test shows no immediate defects, the previous failure at 138,377 miles indicated a significant breakdown in vehicle upkeep across multiple systems, suggesting that repairs are only addressed reactively when tested rather than through a preventative regimen. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per year. There is a notable cluster of activity between August 2023 (122,407 miles) and October 2025 (138,377 miles), where the car covered over 16,000 miles in two years. This rate of use correlates with the frequency of component failures identified, particularly regarding the suspension and braking assemblies, which explains the rapid degradation seen in the 2024 and 2025 records. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the October 2025 test flagged a ruptured nearside coil spring, a worn drop link, a damaged track rod end cover, and a failing Macpherson strut top bush. These issues, combined with the worn wishbone bushes noted in 2023, indicate a history of significant front-end wear. The previous failure of both the service and parking brakes efficiency in late 2025 necessitates a physical check of the discs, calipers, and handbrake mechanism to ensure the rectification was effective and not temporary. The persistent presence of an oil leak noted in both 2024 and 2025 suggests an aging engine seal issue that requires monitoring for volume of loss. Furthermore, the complex electronic faults reported regarding the ABS, stability control, and engine management lamp in the 2025 failure point to potential sensor or wiring issues that should be cleared and recopied to ensure they do not return. The recurring failure of light bulbs and tyres across multiple years reflects a pattern of ignoring basic consumable maintenance by the previous owner.
