2015 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · SH15 YVC

The Peugeot 3008 presents as a mechanically sound vehicle with a broadly improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass in June 2025 at 58,086 miles. The record shows a clear trajectory of resolving defects. A fractured nearside front coil spring and a worn shock absorber bush flagged in May 2023 were addressed before the subsequent clean pass that same month. Similarly, a split offside front CV joint boot and a worn nearside front tyre identified in June 2024 were rectified ahead of the June 2025 test. This pattern indicates a responsive owner who has attended to critical suspension and drivetrain faults rather than allowing them to persist. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,281 miles per year. The record shows a jump from 37,658 miles in May 2023 to 47,864 miles by June 2024, representing roughly 10,200 miles in just over twelve months, before climbing only 10,222 miles across the following year to the current 58,086 miles. This suggests a shift from very light use to more consistent, but still modest, annual driving. The most recent test is current, expiring on 22 June 2026, leaving approximately twelve months of validity remaining from today's date. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the structural condition of the vehicle, as the most recent tester noted that sill covers and undertrays were fitted, preventing full inspection of load-bearing areas and subframes. This is a common masking technique that can conceal corrosion on a vehicle of this age, particularly around rear suspension mounting points, sill seams, and floor pans. A physical inspection with the undertrays removed is strongly advised to verify the integrity of the chassis and body mounts. Mechanically, the recurring focus on front-end suspension and drivetrain components warrants a thorough check of the front anti-roll bar links, CV joint boots, and shock absorber top mounts for play or deterioration. The rear brake pads were noted as wearing thin in June 2024, so a buyer should verify the current condition of both rear pads and discs, along with the handbrake mechanism, as these can deteriorate quickly on a vehicle used predominantly for short, low-speed journeys.
