2013 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · SN13 OEM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass in November 2025 at 87,174 miles. However, the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive care. The immediate failure in November 2025 resulted from illegal tyre tread depths on both rear tyres and a severely deteriorated offside front anti-roll bar linkage. While these specific issues were rectified for the re-test, the recurrence of suspension-related failures suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when they threaten an MOT certificate. At 87,174 miles over 13 years, the car has averaged approximately 6,700 miles per year, which is consistent with low-mileage usage for its age. The mileage data shows steady progression, with roughly 10,000 miles covered between November 2023 and November 2024, and another 7,700 miles in the following year. This consistent usage suggests the vehicle is not subjected to extreme strain, though the low-frequency nature of the trips often leads to rubber component degradation and corrosion due to age alone. A buyer must perform a close inspection of the suspension system, as the history shows a fractured offside rear coil spring in 2023 and a perished anti-roll bar linkage in 2025. You should check for signs of tearing in rubber bushes and play in the lower control arms. The 2024 advisory also noted pitted and scored front brake discs, which indicates the braking components may be sitting for long periods and experiencing corrosion. Given the recent failure for low tyre tread, verify the remaining life and age of all four tyres to ensure they are not budget replacements fitted solely to pass the test.
