2018 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Petrol · AA59 ROO

The 2018 Peugeot 3008 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 October 2025 at 43,463 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean annual examinations since 2022. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the DVSA history, which indicates the vehicle has not required rectification work within the test regime over the past four years. Annual mileage sits well below typical expectations for an eight-year-old car. The record shows 19,224 miles at the October 2022 test, rising to 26,637 by October 2023, 34,946 by October 2024, and 43,463 by October 2025. That equates to roughly 8,700 miles per year across the last three intervals, against an overall average near 5,433 miles per annum since registration. The low lifetime total suggests extended periods of light use or standing, though the recent yearly increments show no sudden accumulation that would signal accelerated wear on drivetrain or suspension components. The only blemish is a failed test on 18 October 2022 at 19,224 miles, logged with no defects recorded. This points to an administrative or documentation refusal rather than a mechanical fault, as the same-day retest passed cleanly. The absence of any flagged items such as worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, binding calipers, or exhaust emissions breaches implies the previous keeper maintained basic test compliance, though a no-defect record does not confirm proactive servicing beyond statutory minimums. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of consumable items the MOT does not measure in depth. Check brake disc thickness and caliper operation, scrutinise suspension arms and subframe for incipient corrosion given the low-use profile, and verify the timing belt interval for a 2018 petrol or diesel unit. The clean history warrants confidence, but low mileage standing can conceal perished seals or flat-spotted tyres that a pass certificate will not reveal.
