2018 Peugeot 3008 2.0L Diesel · BV67 ADZ

The car’s recent MOT history is dominated by a single serious suspension issue that required remedial work – the off‑side front anti‑roll bar linkage pin or bush was judged excessively worn and the near‑side rear tyre tread fell below the legal 1.6 mm limit in September 2025. Both defects were cleared by a subsequent pass two days later, indicating that the anti‑roll bar bush and the rear tyre were addressed promptly, and the vehicle has otherwise recorded clean passes with only minor, non‑safety‑related items. At 81,405 mi after eight years the average annual mileage is roughly 10,200 mi, which sits squarely within normal UK usage for a family SUV. The MOT dates show a regular yearly testing pattern with no significant gaps, suggesting the odometer reading reflects consistent on‑road activity rather than long periods of storage. This mileage level means consumables such as brake pads, clutch components and suspension bushings are likely approaching the point where proactive inspection is advisable. Prospective buyers should focus on the front suspension assembly, particularly the anti‑roll bar linkage and surrounding bushings. On a test drive listen for metallic clunks or knocks when navigating bumps or taking corners, and feel for any looseness or excessive body roll that could indicate lingering wear. The rear tyre replacement that resolved the dangerous tread depth should be verified; inspect all four tyres for uniform tread depth, sidewall condition and even wear patterns, and confirm that the current set meets the minimum legal depth. The 2022 windscreen advisory for damage, although not deemed to impair vision, warrants a close visual check for cracks or chips that could spread under stress. The undertray fitted in 2021 was noted as large enough to restrict visibility of the vehicle’s underside, so a visual inspection of the chassis, exhaust mounting points and suspension components should be performed from a raised position or with the undertray removed if possible. Look for any signs of corrosion, especially around the wheel arches and rear sub‑frame, and verify that there are no oil or coolant leaks around the engine bay and rear bulkhead. A comprehensive pre‑purchase inspection that confirms the repaired anti‑roll bar bush, tyre condition and the integrity of the undertray area will give the buyer confidence in the car’s current roadworthiness.
