2016 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · YS66 GZD

The 2016 Peugeot 3008 has maintained a consistent roadworthiness record over the past three MOT cycles, with the most recent test on 28 October 2025—just nine months ago—resulting in a clean pass at 60,664 miles. The only failure in the history was a minor electrical issue in October 2023, where the offside headlamp’s dipped beam was non-functional, a fault easily rectified and not repeated. The absence of advisories or recurring defects suggests the vehicle has undergone regular, if basic, maintenance, though the lack of pre-MOT servicing records means wear items like suspension bushes, brake pads, and timing belt condition cannot be confirmed from this data alone. Mileage progression indicates typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging around 6,000 miles annually without abrupt spikes or prolonged stagnation. The gap between tests remains standard at one year, with no evidence of excessive wear from rapid mileage accumulation. The 2023 failure, however, hints at a single oversight in electrical checks rather than a broader pattern of neglect. Without service intervals or private maintenance logs, it remains impossible to determine whether critical components—such as the turbocharger, differential fluid, or suspension linkages—have been serviced within manufacturer-recommended cycles. A buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear areas not covered by MOT standards. Focus on the suspension, particularly the front and rear bushes, for cracking or excessive play, and check coil springs for corrosion or fatigue. Brake discs and calipers should be examined for uneven wear or binding, while the exhaust system warrants scrutiny for leaks or structural corrosion, especially around joints. The 2023 headlamp failure also warrants verification that all bulbs and wiring remain intact, as electrical faults can escalate if ignored. Given the vehicle’s age, a thorough check of the turbocharger and intercooler for soot or oil leaks is advisable, as these are often overlooked until failure.
