2011 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · YR61 LLG

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a concerning shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 93,132 miles passed, it flagged both front inner tyres as reaching the legal limit and showing uneven wear. This mirrors a pattern seen in November 2021 at 71,736 miles, suggesting the owner tends to defer consumable replacement until an MOT failure occurs. At 93,132 miles over 15 years, the Peugeot has averaged approximately 6,200 miles per year, which is consistent with low-intensity regional use. The data reveals a significant gap in mileage between November 2021 and December 2023, where only 948 miles were recorded. However, the mileage increased rapidly by over 20,000 miles between late 2023 and late 2025. This sudden burst of activity often accelerates the wear on rubber components and mechanical seals that have sat static for long periods. A buyer must scrutinise the front steering and suspension assembly in person. The November 2024 test identified play in the nearside steering rack inner joints and the nearside front lower suspension ball joint. These specific mechanical faults were not explicitly cleared as repaired in the 2025 record, indicating a potential for steering vag or unpredictable handling. The recurring uneven wear on the inner edges of the front tyres also suggests a persistent alignment issue or worn shock absorbers, which will continue to prematurely degrade new tyres if the underlying geometry is not corrected.
