2022 Peugeot 3008 GT Premium Bluehdi S/S A 1.5L Diesel · AS07 JAM

The most recent MOT, carried out on 18 June 2026, was passed but returned three advisories – front brake disc surface wear and scoring, rear brake disc surface wear and scoring, and a defective rear‑exhaust mounting bracket. The previous test, dated 24 June 2025, recorded a clean pass with no defects. This pattern suggests a generally stable maintenance record; the vehicle has avoided outright failures, yet the emerging wear on both brake discs and the exhaust support indicates that components are beginning to reach the end of their service life and will require attention in the near term. With a recorded 12 029 miles on a 2022 model, the average annual mileage works out at roughly 3 000 miles per year, considerably below the UK average for a family SUV. Such low utilisation often points to periods of limited use or prolonged storage, which can be benign for wear‑dependent items but may expose the car to age‑related degradation such as rubber hardening, fluid oxidation and battery sulfation. There is no evidence of any sudden mileage spikes that would suggest aggressive driving or high‑stress use, so mechanical fatigue is likely minimal. Prospective buyers should give particular focus to the brake system. Surface pitting on both front and rear discs, while not yet deemed structurally compromised, will reduce braking efficiency and can lead to pedal pulsation or a noticeable shudder under moderate braking. Inspect the discs for deep scoring, rust spots or uneven wear, and verify that the pads retain sufficient thickness. It would be prudent to arrange a professional resurfacing or replacement of the discs and pads within the next 5 000 miles, especially if the vehicle will be driven in wet or mountainous conditions. The rear‑exhaust mounting bracket should be examined for cracks, corrosion or loose bolts; a faulty mount can cause excessive vibration, audible rattles at low speed and may eventually lead to exhaust mis‑alignment or premature wear of the surrounding heat shields. Replacement of the bracket is a relatively inexpensive repair but should be addressed promptly to avoid secondary damage. Given the low mileage and likely periods of inactivity, the buyer should also conduct age‑related checks. Examine the tyre sidewalls for cracking, dry rot or hardening, as rubber can deteriorate even without mileage; any signs of tread separation warrant immediate replacement. Test the 12‑volt battery under load, as long‑term storage can reduce cranking power and cause starting issues. Verify that all fluid reservoirs – engine oil, coolant, brake fluid and transmission oil – have been changed in accordance with the manufacturer’s calendar intervals, as fluids can absorb moisture and lose lubricity over time. Look for signs of corrosion on suspension bushings, chassis mounting points and brake caliper pins, especially where the car may have sat idle. Finally, confirm that the service book contains regular oil changes and any recommended interim inspections, which will give confidence that the vehicle has been cared for despite its modest mileage.
