2018 Peugeot 3008 1.2L Petrol · AE18 MYB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 55,200 miles passed, it introduced several new advisories regarding worn brake components and uneven tyre wear. The trend shows a recurring pattern of allowing consumable items to reach the end of their life before intervention, suggesting that components are only replaced once they reach a failure point or are flagged by a tester. At 55,200 miles, this eight-year-old Peugeot has covered an average of approximately 6,900 miles per year, which is consistent with typical low-use patterns. The interval between the November 2023 test at 41,225 miles and the October 2024 test at 47,663 miles shows a steady accumulation of roughly 6,400 miles. This consistent mileage pattern generally reduces mechanical strain on the drivetrain, though the degradation of rubber-based components remains evident in the record. A buyer must inspect the front suspension specifically, as the anti-roll bar linkage ball joints were flagged for play in both 2023 and 2024. Although these were addressed after the 2024 failure, the recurring nature of this fault suggests a potential issue with quality or fit. The braking system also requires close attention; the 2025 advisory notes pitted and scored rear discs along with thinning rear pads, mirroring the failures on pads and discs recorded during the November 2023 test. The uneven tyre wear noted with the offside front tyre wearing on the inner edge as of October 2025 indicates a likely alignment issue or incorrect geometry that has not yet been rectified. The buyer should verify that the alignment has been set and check the oil levels, as the 2025 tester specifically noted the oil was at the minimum mark. Given the history of failed bulbs and washer fluid, a thorough check of all fluid levels and lighting components is necessary before purchase.
