2015 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · YP65 DRV

The most recent MOT (14 July 2022) was a pass, but the report notes the parking‑brake efficiency only just met the minimum – a sign the brake system may need adjustment or repair. A clear pattern emerges from the last three years: both rear tyres were repeatedly below the legal tread depth, rear brake discs showed wear and pitting, and the rear suspension – especially the nearside coil spring – was noted as corroded or slightly corroded. The front shocks were also flagged in 2021 as having negligible damping effect. These issues have persisted rather than disappeared, indicating a modestly worsening trend in the rear braking and suspension areas. Mileage is 73,504 mi on an eleven‑year‑old 3008, roughly 6,700 mi per year. That is average for a vehicle of this age, so the mileage alone does not point to heavy abuse, but it also does not rule out periods of low use that can allow corrosion to develop on suspension components. Overall the MOT history is not clean – recurring tyre wear, rear brake disc condition and rear‑suspension corrosion suggest the vehicle may need brake work, tyre replacement and possibly suspension refurbishment soon. The trend is stable to slightly deteriorating rather than improving. Key checks for a buyer: - Inspect all four tyres for tread depth, uneven wear and side‑wall condition; be prepared to replace the rear set. - Examine the rear brake discs and pads for scoring, thickness and any vibration when braking.
