2021 Peugeot 3008 1.5L Diesel · KN21 ABV

The latest MOT test on 13 March 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a consistent trend of clean passes in both 2025 and 2024. This indicates a stable maintenance history with no recurring or worsening issues flagged by the DVSA, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a roadworthy condition over the past three years. The absence of advisories or failures points to a well-maintained example, though it does not guarantee the absence of wear-related concerns that may not yet have manifested as testable defects. At 74,901 miles over five years, this Peugeot 3008 has covered an average of nearly 15,000 miles annually, which is on the higher side for a vehicle of its age. Such mileage accumulation typically accelerates wear on consumable components, including tyres, brake pads, discs, and suspension bushes, as well as placing greater demand on the drivetrain and fluid systems. While the MOT history does not reflect any immediate failures, the elevated usage rate means these areas will require closer scrutiny to assess their remaining service life. Prospective buyers should prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension and braking systems, as high mileage can lead to worn bushes, leaking shock absorbers, or uneven brake disc wear. Listen for clunks or knocks over rough surfaces, which may indicate worn suspension components, and check for uneven tyre wear or vibration through the steering wheel under braking, which could signal warped discs or binding calipers. Additionally, inspect the condition of the tyres for adequate tread depth and sidewall damage, as these are critical safety items that degrade with both age and mileage. Given the vehicle’s age, it is also prudent to verify the health of the 12V battery, as high mileage often correlates with frequent short journeys that can shorten battery life. Check for signs of fluid leaks, particularly around the engine bay and under the vehicle, and review the service history to confirm that time-based maintenance, such as coolant and brake fluid changes, has been carried out. Finally, examine the exhaust system for corrosion or damage, as this is a common area for deterioration, even if it has not yet triggered an MOT advisory.
