2016 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · RF16 ACV

The vehicle presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 10 May 2025 at 71,633 miles with zero recorded defects. The history shows a consistent pattern of compliance, with the exception of a brief failure on 16 May 2024 at 65,297 miles. Given that this test was immediately followed by a pass on the same day without any recorded defects, the failure likely resulted from a minor administrative error or a simple rectifiable issue such as a blown bulb rather than a systemic mechanical fault. The recorded mileage of 71,633 miles over ten years averages approximately 7,163 miles per annum, which sits well within the expected range for a vehicle of this type. The progression of mileage is steady and logical, with no evidence of long periods of inactivity or erratic usage patterns. The jump from 50,378 miles in May 2023 to 65,297 miles in May 2024 suggests a period of more intensive use, yet the vehicle successfully cleared subsequent inspections without flagging issues related to drivetrain wear or suspension fatigue. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components that typically reach the end of their service life at this mileage, specifically the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. While the MOT records indicate a clean bill of health, these tests do not assess the remaining life of consumables or the internal state of the engine. Check the service history for evidence of timing belt changes and oil maintenance, as the MOT record only confirms the vehicle met minimum safety standards at the time of testing and does not guarantee the longevity of mechanical systems.
