2018 Peugeot 3008 1.2L Petrol · YG18 AAN

A recurring advisory about front‑tyre tread depth dominates the recent MOT picture of this 2018 Peugeot 3008; the 2025 and 2026 tests each flagged the off‑side front tyre as worn close to the legal limit on the inner edge, while the latest 2026‑05‑15 pass otherwise recorded no defects. Apart from that tyre concern the vehicle has consistently cleared its annual MOTs since 2022, indicating no recorded failures in suspension, brakes, emissions or structural areas. With 37,258 mi logged over roughly eight years the average annual accumulation sits near 4,650 mi, well below the typical UK usage of 8‑10 000 mi per year for a family SUV. The steady, low‑mileage pattern suggests limited wear on drivetrain and brake components, yet the consistent yearly testing leaves no gaps that would hide periods of prolonged inactivity. Low mileage can also mean that consumables such as tyres may have aged more than the miles suggest, particularly if the car has spent extended periods stationary. Prospective buyers should give the front tyres immediate attention. Inspect the tread depth on both front wheels, paying close attention to the inner edges for signs of cupping or uneven wear that could indicate mis‑alignment or worn suspension bushes. During a test drive, feel for any vibration or pulling to one side, especially when cornering, which would corroborate alignment or tyre‑wear issues. Verify that tyre pressures are correct and that there is no visible sidewall damage, punctures or cracking that could precipitate a failure. Although the MOT record shows no other advisories, a comprehensive pre‑purchase check remains prudent. Examine the suspension components—particularly the front lower arms and bushings—for any looseness or knocking over bumps, and listen for any squeal or judder from the brakes under moderate pressure, which would reveal early pad or disc wear not yet captured by the MOT. Confirm that the wheel bearings are quiet and free of play, and ensure the exhaust system is intact, as these areas, while unremarked in the MOT history, are standard points of wear on a vehicle of this age.
