2017 Peugeot 3008 2.0L Diesel · RK67 SWZ

The Peugeot 3008’s most recent MOT test on 2025-11-04 confirms it remains roadworthy, though the record reveals an unusual pattern of back-to-back failures in November 2023 and 2024—both without recorded defects. This suggests either a deliberate retesting strategy or an oversight in defect reporting, as neither failure entry notes specific issues. The vehicle has passed its last two scheduled tests cleanly, but the absence of any advisories or defects across all entries implies either meticulous maintenance or a lack of critical wear being addressed. The trend is stable in terms of pass rates, though the retesting raises questions about whether minor issues were overlooked or intentionally bypassed. The recorded mileage of 92,415 miles over nine years equates to approximately 10,268 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage for this age. There are no significant gaps or spikes in mileage between tests, as the intervals between failures and passes are consistent—around 12 months apart. This suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly without prolonged periods of neglect or excessive wear. However, the lack of advisories or defects in any test means there is no data to indicate whether high-mileage components like suspension bushes, brake calipers, or drivetrain joints have been proactively serviced. Given the absence of recorded defects or advisories, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear items that are not routinely checked in MOTs. Focus on the suspension—particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, as binding or uneven wear could cause handling issues without triggering a fail. The brakes, though not flagged, should be assessed for uneven pad thickness or warped discs, especially if the vehicle has been driven hard. Examine the subframe and sills for corrosion, as this model is prone to rust in these areas, which could compromise structural integrity. Finally, verify the integrity of the exhaust system, particularly at joints and mounts, as leaks or damage often go unnoticed until they affect emissions or structural stability.
