2012 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · SO12 WLF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a clear trend of improving maintenance over the last three years. Following a failure in November 2022, the Peugeot has passed its three most recent tests with no recorded defects or advisories. This shift indicates that the mechanical and structural issues identified previously were addressed and that the vehicle is currently maintained to a high standard of operational readiness. The mileage pattern is consistent with low-average usage for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year. Data shows a significant period of stagnation between the 2024 test at 87,004 miles and the July 2025 test at 87,273 miles. This low-frequency use suggests the car may be used for short-distance trips or has experienced periods of inactivity, which can sometimes age rubber-based components faster than mileage wear alone. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and tyres due to the history of recurring faults. The November 2022 failure for a fractured offside rear coil spring and repeated advisories regarding damaged nearside tyres suggest potential issues with alignment or uneven shock absorption. While the recent 2025 test was clean, the low mileage relative to the age warrants a close check for perishing tyre sidewalls and cracking in suspension bushes, which often degrade over time despite low usage.
