2013 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · WA13 XEL

The current roadworthiness status of this Peugeot 3008 is acceptable, though the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While the vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 11 April 2024 at 73,495 miles, the initial failure due to excessive play in the nearside front wheel bearing suggests that mechanical components are being run until they reach a point of critical failure. The recurring advisories regarding brake disc wear and tyre edge wear indicate that the vehicle frequently requires attention to its rolling gear, pointing to a trend of deferred maintenance that has not yet been fully rectified. The vehicle has covered 73,495 miles over its thirteen-year lifespan, averaging approximately 5,650 miles per annum. This low-mileage profile is consistent across the recorded history, with annual increments showing no significant gaps or periods of prolonged storage. While the lower mileage might suggest less stress on the drivetrain, the consistent MOT failures and advisories suggest that the car has spent its life in urban or stop-start conditions, which places higher demand on braking systems and suspension joints compared to motorway use. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the front braking system, as the records show persistent issues with disc scoring and pad thinning since 2022. The recurring mention of tyre edge wear is a clear indicator that the wheel alignment or suspension geometry requires professional adjustment to prevent premature tyre replacement. Additionally, check the condition of the constant velocity gaiters and suspension bushes, as the failure of the wheel bearing and previous deterioration of the drive shaft boot highlight that the rubber components and wheel-end assemblies are now at an age where they require closer scrutiny.
