2021 Peugeot Bailey Autograph III 79-4T 2.2L Diesel · PX21 BNK

The Peugeot 3008 Autograph III has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across the most recent two tests, both conducted in May 2024 and May 2025 at 13,307 and 15,923 miles respectively. This consistency suggests the vehicle has been subjected to regular, if not rigorous, maintenance checks during its brief service life. The most recent MOT, just over two years ago, confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards, though it is now approaching the 3-year MOT renewal threshold. No advisories or failings in emissions, structural integrity, or critical systems were noted, which is a positive indicator of responsible ownership. The recorded mileage of 15,923 miles over approximately five years—roughly 3,185 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age and type. This pattern implies either minimal usage, extended periods of storage, or both. The gap between tests, spanning exactly one year each time, aligns with the standard MOT cycle, but the overall low mileage raises questions about whether the vehicle has been driven under typical conditions. Without additional service records, it is impossible to determine whether components like suspension bushes or transmission fluids have been serviced according to manufacturer recommendations, which could accelerate wear despite the low mileage. Given the lack of defects in recent MOTs, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear items that may not have been formally tested. The low mileage does not preclude issues such as degraded suspension bushes or coil springs, particularly if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods, leading to premature deterioration. Brake pads and discs, while not failed in MOTs, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been driven infrequently. Corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and underbody panels is another critical area—even with low mileage, prolonged exposure to moisture can compromise structural integrity. Finally, the battery and electrical connections, often neglected in low-mileage vehicles, warrant inspection to ensure no corrosion or degradation has occurred during periods of inactivity.
