2018 Peugeot 3008 1.2L Petrol · AE18 SZT

The 2018 Peugeot 3008 presents a stable and highly positive maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 13 March 2026 at 51,596 miles. The absence of any defects or advisories across the entire recorded history indicates a vehicle that has been consistently maintained to a high standard. The trend is firmly stable, showing no signs of deterioration or neglect. The mileage accumulation aligns perfectly with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,450 miles annually. Between the March 2023 test at 32,678 miles and the March 2024 test at 39,770 miles, the car covered 7,092 miles. The following year, up to the March 2025 test at 46,441 miles, it accrued 6,671 miles. The most recent year shows a slight reduction in use, traveling just 5,155 miles to reach the current 51,596 miles. A minor anomaly exists in the 2025 record where a test was aborted or failed at 46,439 miles with no defects recorded, immediately followed by a clean pass two miles later, suggesting a procedural issue rather than a mechanical fault. Despite the pristine MOT record, a physical inspection remains essential given the vehicle's age and mileage. The lack of historical advisories does not preclude current wear on consumables. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the brake discs and pads, as well as the tyre tread depths and sidewall integrity, to ensure they meet legal standards and show even wear. Suspension components, particularly the drop links and anti-roll bar bushes, require scrutiny for any deterioration that might not yet constitute a testable failure. The underbody and structural mounting points should be checked for corrosion, a common issue as vehicles of this age begin to show their years, even if the MOT tester has not flagged it yet. The engine bay and coolant hoses need a thorough visual assessment for perishing or leaks, ensuring the previous owner's diligent care has continued right up to the point of sale.
