2018 Peugeot 3008 2.0L Diesel · AE18 MYC

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently poor, as the most recent MOT test in June 2026 (84,074 miles) failed on critical structural and mechanical components. The maintenance trend is clearly deteriorating, evidenced by a sequence of failures across the first three tests in March 2023, where the vehicle was repeatedly flagged for worn brake pads, worn tyres, and structural bulges. This pattern indicates that basic upkeep was skipped, and the mechanical integrity of the drivetrain and suspension has degraded significantly over the past three years. The mileage accumulation is substantial, with the vehicle averaging approximately 27,709 miles per year, which is consistent with its 8-year age. However, this high mileage has resulted in rapid wear on consumables such as brake discs, anti-roll bar ball joints, and tyres, creating a situation where the vehicle is effectively in a state of disrepair despite its age. The gap between the 2023 and 2026 tests is particularly concerning, as the vehicle failed in both years, suggesting that the wear on critical parts like the brakes and anti-roll bar is accelerating faster than the vehicle's age allows. Given the recurring faults and the fact that the vehicle is now failing its MOT, a buyer should inspect the vehicle in person immediately. The inspection must focus on the brake systems, suspension components, and structural integrity of the anti-roll bar and ball joints, as these are the primary failure points identified in the history. The current failure status requires urgent remedial action, including brake replacement, suspension bushing replacement, and ball joint replacement, to restore the vehicle's roadworthiness before it reaches the next MOT.
