2021 PEUGEOT 3008 GT PREMIUM S/S PHEV 4X4 A1.6L Hybrid Electric (Clean)

This Peugeot 3008 PHEV demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend over the past two MOT cycles, with both tests—conducted on 25 April 2024 at 14,701 miles and 17 April 2025 at 21,083 miles—resulting in clean passes without advisories or defects. The absence of recurring issues suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, though the lack of any recorded faults does not preclude hidden wear. The most recent test, just under a year ago, aligns with standard MOT intervals, though the 2026 test is now overdue by three months. No advisory notes imply deferred repairs, but the PHEV hybrid system—including high-voltage components—has not been specifically tested for compliance beyond the standard MOT scope. The recorded mileage of 21,083 miles over five years equates to approximately 4,217 miles annually, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age and segment. This pattern could indicate limited use, extended periods of storage, or even potential odometer tampering, though no red flags in the MOT history directly support the latter. The gap between tests—approximately 12 months—is standard, but the low mileage raises questions about whether the vehicle has been driven enough to wear out consumables like brake pads, suspension bushes, or timing belts at expected rates. Without pre-MOT service records, it is impossible to confirm whether critical intervals (e.g., hybrid battery health checks, fluid changes) have been adhered to. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the hybrid battery and cooling system, as these are not routinely covered by standard MOT testing. The suspension—particularly the rear coil springs and bushes—should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, given the low mileage could mask gradual deterioration. Brake discs and calipers, while not failed in MOTs, may exhibit uneven wear if the vehicle has been driven sporadically, leading to binding or uneven pad contact. Tyres, though not failed, should be examined for uneven tread wear or embedded debris, which could indicate alignment issues or prolonged storage without rotation. Structural corrosion, particularly around wheel arches and sills, is also worth assessing, as hybrid vehicles often sit longer between uses.
