2019 Peugeot 3008 1.5L Diesel · AF69 NLO

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 25 August 2026 with no defects recorded. Evaluating the overall maintenance trend, the vehicle shows signs of reactive maintenance. The 2025 MOT highlighted several advisories concerning tyre wear and brake disc condition, but the clean result in 2026 suggests these issues were addressed. This indicates that while the vehicle may not have been maintained with strict preventative measures, the owner has been willing to rectify significant wear items when they reach a critical threshold. The recorded mileage of 114,753 miles indicates an average annual usage of approximately 16,393 miles. This is a high-mileage profile for a seven-year-old vehicle, suggesting consistent and heavy use. From a mechanical standpoint, this level of mileage places greater demand on the drivetrain, suspension, and cooling systems. You should anticipate more advanced wear on components such as the turbocharger, alternator, and various rubber seals and hoses. While high mileage often implies motorway driving, which can be less taxing on the clutch and gearbox than stop-start city driving, the cumulative wear on suspension bushes and steering components will be more pronounced. The advisories from the 2025 MOT regarding tyres being worn on the edges are a specific point of concern. Edge wear typically suggests an alignment issue, such as incorrect toe or camber, or potentially worn suspension bushes and steering linkages. During your test drive, pay close attention to the steering feel; any pulling to one side or a wandering sensation could indicate geometry problems. Furthermore, because the front brake discs were noted as worn in 2025, you must verify that they were actually replaced. Listen for any squealing or grinding noises during braking and feel for any pedal pulsation or steering wheel shudder, which are classic symptoms of warped or unevenly worn discs. Given the high mileage, a thorough verification of the service history is essential. You must confirm whether the timing belt and water pump have been replaced, as these are critical failure points at this stage of the vehicle's life. Inspect the engine bay for any evidence of fluid weeping from the rocker cover or turbocharger oil feeds. Underneath the vehicle, check the condition of the exhaust system for excessive corrosion and inspect the suspension for leaking dampers or perished rubber components. Finally, ensure that the tyres fitted after the 2025 advisories are of an acceptable quality and that the tread is even across the entire width of the tyre to confirm that any underlying alignment issues have been resolved.
