2019 PEUGEOT 30081.5L DIESEL

The 2019 Peugeot 3008 shows a generally stable roadworthiness trend over its MOT history, though the most recent test in December 2025—just five months ago—reveals no defects. This suggests the vehicle passed inspection without major failings, though the February 2025 test did flag rear brake pads as wearing thin, a minor but correctable issue that was likely addressed before the latest pass. The 2024 test highlighted severe tyre degradation on both rear tyres, with perishing and edge wear, indicating a failure to maintain tyres at legal limits. While this was remedied by the time of the 2025 tests, the recurrence of tyre-related advisories implies either neglect or delayed replacement. No structural or drivetrain faults have been recorded, but the absence of advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, or binding calipers does not guarantee their current condition. The vehicle’s mileage of 33,951 miles over seven years—roughly 4,850 miles annually—is unusually low for its age, suggesting either light usage or prolonged periods of inactivity. The gaps between tests are consistent, with roughly 12,000 to 14,000 miles between each MOT, though the 2023 to 2022 interval shows an unusually rapid accumulation of 3,662 miles in just over a year. This could indicate a brief period of heavier use, though the overall low mileage reduces wear on high-stress components like suspension and brakes. The lack of recent mileage spikes also means some consumables—such as brake fluid, power steering fluid, or cabin filters—may not have been refreshed in line with manufacturer recommendations. A prospective buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the rear braking system, given the 2025 advisory on pad wear and the potential for uneven wear from the earlier tyre issues. The perished rear tyres in 2024 suggest possible alignment or suspension drift, so the condition of rear suspension bushes, ball joints, and coil springs should be closely examined. Front brakes and tyres, while not previously flagged, warrant scrutiny given their age and the vehicle’s low mileage—long periods of disuse can accelerate rubber degradation. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and subframes, should also be checked for corrosion, as this is often overlooked in low-mileage vehicles. Finally, verify that all fluid levels and conditions are up to date, as extended storage can lead to contamination or degradation in brake fluid, coolant, and differential oil.
