2010 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · YT60 DCU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on a clean record over the last several years. The most recent test in September 2021 at 78,644 miles passed without any defects or advisories, indicating that the car was in a mechanically sound condition at that time. While a single failure was recorded in September 2020, the immediate retest pass the following day suggests a minor issue that was quickly rectified, rather than a pattern of recurring mechanical neglect. The mileage profile is notably low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per annum. Between July 2018 and September 2021, the car covered 14,012 miles, showing consistent but light usage patterns. However, there is a significant gap in data following the last recorded MOT in September 2021. Given the current date of June 2026, the vehicle has lacked an official safety inspection for nearly five years. This long interval suggests that any rubber-based components may have perished or that fluid integrity may have degraded, regardless of the low odometer reading. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on components affected by age and inactivity rather than just mileage. Prioritize checking the suspension bushes, control arm ball, and coil springs for cracking, which often occurs when vehicles sit stationary. The braking system should be examined for surface corrosion or seized calipers, common issues for low-use cars over long periods. Because the MOT record is now outdated, a thorough check of the structural integrity and exhaust system for underbody corrosion is essential to ensure the vehicle remains roadworthy after its extended period without formal testing.
