2010 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · PX10 SNV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of deferred repairs regarding mechanical components. The most recent test in August 2025 at 93,839 miles shows a pass following a significant failure just two weeks prior. While the owner addressed the fractured offside front coil spring and lighting issues, the record indicates a persistent problem with engine oil leaks and worn suspension arm bushes. This suggests a reactive approach where faults are only rectified when they cause a failure rather than through preventative maintenance. At 93,839 miles, this 16-year-old Peugeot has covered low mileage, averaging approximately 5,865 miles per year. This low usage profile explains the recurring perishing of rubber components, such as the cracking nearside rear tyres noted in 2023 and 2025. However, long periods of standing often lead to the degradation of seals and bushes. The 3,519 miles driven between August 2024 and August 2025 tests are insufficient to justify the rapid wear observed on the front suspension assembly. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the inner suspension arm bushes have been flagged as worn in three consecutive years dating from 2024 to 2025. The engine oil leak has escalated from non-excessive in 2024 to excessive in the 2025 failure, necessitating a professional pressure test to determine if a primary gasket is failing. Additionally, the front brake discs were noted as worn in 2024 and should be checked for thickness and pitting to ensure they are not nearing their minimum limits.
