2011 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Petrol · SD11 NAA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding suspension component integrity. While it passed its latest MOT in November 2025 at 66,859 miles, it failed that same test due to multiple mechanical defects. The presence of worn bushes on both the nearside and offside front suspension arms suggests that the front end geometry is reaching the end of its functional life, marking a progression from the fractured coil spring noted in 2024. At 15 years old, the recorded mileage of 66,859 miles represents a low average of approximately 4,457 miles per year. This low usage often masks underlying mechanical wear on the engine, but it can lead to accelerated degradation of rubber components due to age. The data shows a consistent interval of roughly 6,000 miles between September 2023 and September 2024, suggesting the car is used regularly rather than left stationary for long periods, which would cause tyres and suspension seals to perish and crack over time regardless of the mileage. A physical inspection must focus heavily on the front suspension to verify if the worn arm bushes identified in the 2025 test were actually replaced or merely monitored as an advisory. The buyer should check for any uneven tyre wear or steering play which would indicate these bushes are failing. Additionally, the nearside rear tyre was flagged as being close to the legal limit in the most recent test, necessitating a check of the remaining tread depth across all four tyres. The failure of the windscreen washer system is a minor oversight but indicates a lack of attention to basic preventative maintenance by the previous owner.
