2017 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · XL02 AND

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive prevention. The most recent test in July 2025 at 75,418 miles resulted in a failure due to a punctured offside front tyre and a severely deteriorated nearside front drive shaft CV boot. While these issues were rectified to secure a pass, the recurrence of minor electrical and tyre failures suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults when they prevent an MOT certificate. At 75,418 miles, this nine-year-old Peugeot has averaged approximately 8,380 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows a significant gap of 16,034 miles covered between August 2023 and August 2024, and another 17,123 miles covered between August 2024 and July 2025. This consistent usage suggests the vehicle does not sit for long periods, though the cumulative mileage puts steady pressure on rubber components and braking systems. A buyer should specifically inspect the nearside front drive shaft area to ensure no grease leakage has occurred since the previous boot replacement, as a torn boot often leads to internal joint failure. The 2024 advisory regarding front tyres worn to 3mm indicates a history of running tyres low, so the current tread should be checked for even wear and adequate depth. Given the history of inoperative rear registration plate lamps, a thorough check of all exterior lighting and wiring looms is necessary to ensure no deeper corrosion issues are present in the electrical system.
