2016 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · YM65 FWW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a trend of deferred repairs and reactive maintenance. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 81,796 miles passed, it followed a significant failure in December 2025. That failure revealed multiple critical issues including lighting defects, brake imbalance, and an overheated rear brake disc. The fact that the vehicle passed two months later despite previously noted brake hose corrosion and underbody rust suggests that the owner only addresses faults once they threaten an MOT pass rather than following a preventative schedule. The recorded mileage of 81,796 miles over a ten-year period reflects a consistent usage pattern of approximately 8,180 miles per year. This aligns with average UK driving for a family SUV. However, the data shows a spike in activity between December 2024 and December 2025, where the car covered 17,000 miles in a single year. This increased load likely contributed to the accelerated wear observed on the braking system and suspension components, as evidenced by the pitted discs and corroded coil spring recorded during that same period. A physical inspection must focus on the underbody and the braking system. The recurring mention of underbody corrosion from 2024 through 2026 indicates persistent surface rust that could progress to structural thinning if left untreated. The buyer should specifically inspect the nearside rear brake hose to ensure the corrosion at the ferrule noted in January has not progressed to a structural failure. Additionally, the corroded nearside rear coil spring flagged in 2024 requires checking for fractures or further degradation, as these components are prone to failure under load.
