2011 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · YY61 CFD

The vehicle currently meets roadworthiness standards for the 2026 test, which falls within the normal operational window, but the maintenance history indicates a clear trend of progressive deterioration rather than stability. The most recent test on 2026-01-09 was passed with only minor, non-severe issues, yet this is not a sign of a healthy vehicle. The failure on 2025-01-17 revealed critical structural and mechanical risks, including a worn brake disc, a failed windscreen washer, and extensive wear on suspension components including rear and front suspension bushes and ball joints. A failure on 2023-11-03 further confirmed that the mechanical condition has not been improved since the 2025-01-17 test, establishing a pattern of worsening wear. The mileage accumulation is significant and uneven, with the vehicle averaging approximately 9,682 miles per year. This rate is consistent with its age, but the rapid mileage gain during the 2025 test period suggests a lack of regular maintenance, particularly regarding the suspension system and brake discs. The gap between the 2023 and 2025 tests highlights a lack of proactive upkeep, as the vehicle accumulated wear on critical components like the ball joints and suspension bushings without addressing them before the 2025-01-17 test. Given these findings, a buyer must inspect the vehicle immediately to identify and replace the worn brake discs and suspension bushings, as the failure on 2025-01-17 indicates that the braking and suspension systems are now at risk of failure. The extensive wear on the ball joints and suspension components in the 2023-11-03 test suggests that the vehicle may require a full suspension overhaul or replacement soon, as the wear rate has not improved since the 2025-01-17 test. The lack of a recent MOT and the presence of multiple failed tests on the same day confirm that the vehicle is not safe to drive without immediate professional intervention.
