2019 Peugeot 3008 1.5L Diesel · AX04 ALS

The most recent MOT test on 2025-10-03 confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy at 72,361 miles, with no defects recorded across the past two tests. This suggests a stable maintenance pattern, though the 2024-09-20 failure—just one mile before the subsequent pass—indicates a potential oversight rather than a recurring mechanical flaw. The absence of advisories or repeated failures on critical systems implies no obvious neglect of suspension, brakes, or structural integrity. However, the 2024 failure, despite being minor, warrants scrutiny of whether the vehicle was driven immediately after the test or if the issue was addressed promptly. The mileage progression shows consistent usage, averaging around 10,300 miles annually, which aligns with typical wear expectations for a seven-year-old vehicle. The gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests (nearly two months) is unusual but not inherently concerning unless paired with rapid mileage accumulation. No red flags emerge from the spacing, though the 2024 failure—occurring just before the 2024-09-30 pass—suggests either a temporary oversight or a non-recurring issue like a loose component or minor calibration drift. A buyer should prioritise an inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, given the 2024 failure’s proximity to the pass date. Binding brakes or uneven wear on brake discs could also explain the brief failure, so caliper function and rotor thickness should be verified. Structural corrosion, particularly around wheel arches and sills, is another area to examine, as prolonged standing or salt exposure could accelerate deterioration. The lack of advisories in recent tests reduces risk, but visual checks for fluid leaks, tyre condition, and alignment wear remain essential given the vehicle’s age and mileage.
