2010 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · SC10 KRJ

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is currently passing, but the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While it passed the most recent test on 6 January 2026 at 85,974 miles, the vehicle had failed just two miles prior. This failure revealed critical issues including a split CV boot, a worn anti-roll bar linkage, and a leaking rear brake caliper. Although these immediate faults were rectified, the recurring nature of suspension wear suggests that components are reaching their service limit. The mileage is notably low for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,373 miles per year. The data shows a consistent but sparse usage, with a significant gap of over 7,000 miles between the December 2023 test at 72,221 miles and the January 2025 test at 79,607 miles. While low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, the intervals suggest long periods of standing which can contribute to the degradation of rubber components and seals seen in this record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, as the lower control arm pins and bushes have been flagged as worn in every single test since January 2025. The persistent advisories on these components, despite not yet causing a failure, indicate they are nearing requiring for replacement to maintain handling geometry. Additionally, the non-excessive oil leak noted in 2026 should be monitored to determine if it is a minor seepage or a developing seal failure that could worsen. The braking system also requires close attention given the failure for low parking brake efficiency and thin pads in early 2025, followed by a leaking caliper in early 2026. The history frequently notes tyres worn close to the legal limit or with uneven edges, which may point to alignment issues or incorrect pressures. The buyer should verify that the recent repairs to the CV boot and brake components were completed to a professional standard and that the current set of tyres provides adequate tread depth.
