2013 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · YY62 ONB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT in January 2026 at 40,316 miles. The maintenance trend shows overall stability following a significant mechanical failure in late 2024. While the car initially failed its December test due to a continuous fluid leak from the nearside front, the immediate subsequent pass on the same day indicates the fault was addressed promptly. Since that repair, the vehicle has maintained a clean record with no further recorded defects. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,100 miles per year. Data between December 2022 and December 2024 shows the car covered only 1,721 miles, suggesting a pattern of intermittent use. This low usage typically limits mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine. However, long periods of standing often increase the risk of age-related degradation, such as dry rot, perished seals, and seized brake components, which can occur over time regardless of the distance driven. A buyer should inspect the nearside front area specifically to ensure the fluid leak that caused the December 2024 failure has been fully rectified and shows no signs of residual weeping. The 2022 test advisories noted three tyres worn to the legal limit with uneven edges, which often points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. Given the low mileage, a thorough physical check of the rubber components and suspension bushings for cracking is essential to ensure they have not aged prematurely. The headlamp lenses mentioned in the 2026 test show minor cosmetic degradation but should be monitored for future clouding that could affect light output.
