2022 Peugeot 3008 GT Line S/S Phev 4X4 Auto 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · SU51 AAW

The most recent MOT inspection conducted on 4 November 2025 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. Given the vehicle's relatively young age, the MOT history is limited, but the clean result indicates that the vehicle's structural integrity, lighting, and essential safety components were all within legal operating parameters at the time of testing. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the lack of historical data means the assessment is based on a single, recent snapshot of the vehicle's condition. The recorded mileage of 20,146 miles over approximately four years equates to an annual average of roughly 5,036 miles, which is significantly lower than the UK national average. While this low mileage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the internal combustion engine, transmission, and suspension components, it also indicates that the vehicle may have spent considerable periods stationary. For a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV), this pattern of usage requires careful scrutiny, as infrequent driving can sometimes lead to different degradation profiles compared to high-mileage vehicles. Because the MOT history is clean and the mileage is low, the inspection should focus on age-related degradation rather than wear-and-tear. You must physically inspect the tyres for signs of perishing, sidewall cracking, or dry rot, as rubber components can degrade due to age and UV exposure even if the tread depth remains high. Additionally, check for flat spots on the tyres which can occur if the vehicle has been parked in one position for extended periods. On your test drive, pay close attention to the braking system; low usage can lead to brake disc corrosion or binding calipers, so listen for any squealing or unusual noises and feel for any pedal pulsation or shuddering that might indicate uneven surface corrosion. For this specific PHEV model, it is vital to verify the service history to ensure that maintenance has been carried out on a calendar basis rather than solely on mileage. Fluids such as brake fluid, engine coolant, and even the high-voltage battery cooling systems should be changed according to the manufacturer's time intervals to prevent chemical degradation. Furthermore, ensure the 12V auxiliary battery is in good health, as low-use vehicles are prone to discharge issues. Finally, inspect the underside for any signs of surface corrosion or fluid leaks from seals that may have dried out due to infrequent operation, and confirm that all service stamps are present to validate that the vehicle has been maintained despite the low annual distance covered.
