2013 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · WM13 NTD

The most recent DVSA MOT test result for this 2013 Peugeot 3008, dated 18 December 2025, is a pass with no defects or advisories recorded, representing a clean and satisfactory roadworthiness outcome at the time of examination. Reviewing the broader history, the vehicle displays a stable maintenance trend, having passed its 2023 and 2024 tests in succession, with the only recorded failures being on the same dates as the subsequent passes in 2024 and 2025, which strongly suggests these were immediate re-tests following minor issues rectified on site. The absence of any recorded advisories across the available test history is a positive indicator, as it suggests the vehicle has not been presenting borderline wear items to the tester, though it should be noted that MOT testing is a snapshot of condition on the day and does not replace a comprehensive pre-purchase inspection. With a recorded mileage of 100,570 miles over approximately 13 years, the vehicle has averaged around 7,736 miles annually, which is broadly typical for a family crossover of this age and usage profile. This moderate annual accumulation implies reasonable but consistent use, allowing mechanical components to remain functional through regular operation rather than suffering the degradation often associated with vehicles left standing for extended periods. The mileage progression between tests appears steady and plausible, with no anomalous gaps or rapid accumulations that would suggest clock irregularities or significantly different usage patterns between owners. For a diesel or petrol unit of this mileage, attention should be directed towards the condition of the clutch, dual mass flywheel if applicable, turbocharger if fitted, and general drivetrain refinement, as these are areas where wear tends to manifest progressively rather than appearing as a single test failure. Given the clean MOT record and the absence of recurring advisories, the prospective buyer should focus on age and mileage related deterioration that may not necessarily be flagged during standard testing. Tyres warrant close physical inspection, as thirteen year old sidewalls can suffer from perishing and cracking even where tread depth remains legal, particularly on the rear axle where wear may be uneven. Brake discs, especially on a vehicle that may have experienced periods of light use or urban driving, can suffer from corrosion and lipping, and calipers may bind slightly, so a test drive should include several firm stops from speed to check for brake shudder, pulling, or a spongy pedal. The 12V battery, exhaust mounting rubbers, and suspension bushes including the rear trailing arm bushes common to this platform are all items where rubber and electrical components degrade with calendar age rather than mileage. On a test drive, particular attention should be paid to the operation of the electronic parking brake, the BSI controlled electrical systems, and the functioning of the multifunction screen and climate control, as Peugeot vehicles of this era are known to develop electrical gremlins as the body control modules age. Listen for any clonks or knocks from the front suspension over speed humps and uneven surfaces, which would suggest worn drop links, anti roll bar bushes, or top mount bearings. Verify that the service book contains stamps at appropriate intervals, that the cambelt and water pump have been replaced on schedule, and confirm the condition of the coolant and brake fluid, as both are hygroscopic and degrade over time regardless of mileage. Finally, a compression test or diagnostic scan for stored fault codes would provide additional peace of mind before committing to purchase, given that a clean MOT does not preclude underlying mechanical or electronic issues developing in the near future.
