2017 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · WN67 XKJ

The Peugeot 3008 in question presents a clean MOT history over its recent testing cycle, with the most recent examination on 12 May 2025 at 104,917 miles showing no defects—an outcome mirrored in the three preceding passes spanning from November 2022 to May 2024 . The absence of advisories or failures in this period suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a standard where critical mechanical and structural components remain within tolerances. The lone anomaly is the duplicate entry for 4 November 2022 , where the car failed and passed at the same mileage (69,692), which may indicate a clerical error or a rapid rectification of a minor issue not recorded in the official outcome. Overall, the trend is stable, with no signs of deteriorating maintenance or recurring systemic problems. Mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging around 11,657 miles per year —a figure that neither suggests excessive wear nor prolonged neglect. The gap between November 2022 (69,692 miles) and November 2023 (88,077 miles) covers roughly 18,400 miles in 12 months , while the subsequent year to May 2024 (95,990 miles) shows a slower pace, possibly indicating seasonal or reduced usage. The most recent 12-month period to May 2025 (104,917 miles) again reflects steady mileage, reinforcing the impression of consistent, moderate use rather than sporadic or aggressive driving. There are no red flags in the mileage pattern to suggest abuse or prolonged disuse, though the duplicate 2022 entry raises minor curiosity about what may have been addressed that day. For a prospective buyer, the absence of recorded defects in recent tests reduces immediate concerns about major mechanical failures, but a hands-on inspection should still verify key areas. Given the car’s age and mileage, particular attention should be paid to suspension components , including coil springs, anti-roll bars, and bushings, which may show early signs of fatigue even without MOT advisories. Brake system integrity —disc thickness, pad wear, and caliper binding—should be checked, as these are high-wear items not always caught in MOTs unless severe. Exhaust emissions and structural corrosion (especially around wheel arches, sills, and underbody) are worth scrutinising, given the car’s age, while tyre condition —tread depth and sidewall integrity—should be assessed beyond MOT minimums. The clean MOT history is encouraging, but these components are the most likely to reveal deferred maintenance or hidden wear.
