2015 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · SH15 FGD

The 2015 Peugeot 3008 presents as fundamentally sound, having passed its most recent MOT on 27 February 2025 at 87,467 miles with zero defects recorded. That clean bill of health is significant, particularly given the advisory history of the preceding years. The maintenance trend appears to be one of resolution rather than decline. The offside front suspension arm bush wear flagged in March 2024 at 77,993 miles has not reappeared, suggesting a repair was carried out between that test and the February 2025 pass. Similarly, the binding offside front brake and deteriorated CV boot noted in March 2022 at 57,422 miles were absent from the 2023 and subsequent tests, indicating attentive corrective work rather than neglect. The mileage accumulation tells a consistent story. The vehicle has covered roughly 7,952 miles per year over its eleven-year life, which sits squarely within typical usage for its age. The progression from 47,180 miles in March 2021 to 87,467 miles in February 2025 shows steady, regular use with no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in accumulation. A jump of approximately 9,474 miles occurred between March 2021 and March 2022, followed by a more measured 10,761 miles over the subsequent twelve months to March 2023, then a further 10,810 miles to March 2024, and a slightly reduced 9,474 miles in the eleven months to February 2025. The record is complete and unbroken, with no missing annual tests to raise suspicion of extended periods off the road. Despite the clean recent result, the historical advisories warrant a focused physical inspection. The offside front lower suspension arm bush wear flagged in 2024 points to a known weak point on this platform. A buyer should check for any play in the front suspension, uneven tyre wear on the inner edges, or knocking over speed bumps, as these components can degrade again if the repair was not carried out to a high standard. The 2022 advisory regarding a binding offside front brake and a deteriorated CV boot suggests the drivetrain and braking system have experienced stress. Inspect the offside front brake caliper for free movement, check the disc for scoring or hot-spotting, and examine the CV boot thoroughly for any grease splatter or cracking that might indicate a recurrence. Given the vehicle's age and the structural nature of suspension and drivetrain components, a thorough underbody inspection for corrosion, particularly around subframes and mounting points, remains prudent even in the absence of current advisories.
