2013 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · WG62 WHX

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in July 2025 at 187,925 miles identified several immediate attention points, including thin front brake pads and pitted or scored front discs. More critically, the failure of the supplementary restraint system warning lamp to illuminate is a serious safety concern that indicates a potential airbag fault or a bulb failure. While the vehicle passed, the recurring nature of minor component failures suggests that basic upkeep is frequently neglected. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging over 14,000 miles per annum. There is a significant surge in usage between the January 2023 test at 99,549 miles and the July 2025 test at 187,925 miles, representing nearly 88,000 miles in just over two years. This rapid accumulation places immense strain on the drivetrain, cooling suspension components, and braking system. The gap between the 2021 and 2023 tests shows a period of high-intensity use that would likely accelerate the wear of rubber bushes, bushings, and shock absorbers. A physical inspection must focus on the front braking assembly, as the record shows consistent issues with worn discs and pads across multiple years. The buyer should verify the status of the SRS system immediately, as a non-functional airbag is a major risk. Given the history of worn tyres and defective wipers noted in 2023, a check for uneven tyre wear to identify potential alignment issues is necessary. Furthermore, the high-mileage warrants a thorough check for structural corrosion on the chassis and the integrity of the suspension components, which are not covered by the standard MOT inspection.
