2022 Peugeot 3008 GT Premium S/S Phev 4X4 A 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · BT72 AZD

A pattern of emerging tyre wear marks the current mechanical profile of this vehicle, as evidenced by the advisory recorded during its most recent MOT pass on 6 October 2025. Both the nearside rear and offside rear tyres were flagged for being worn close to the legal limit and showing uneven wear on the edges. While the vehicle has maintained a passing status, these specific advisories indicate that the rear axle components or alignment may require attention to prevent premature replacement of the rubber. The vehicle has covered 27,473 miles over approximately four years, which equates to an average annual usage of roughly 6,868 miles. This represents a relatively low-to-moderate mileage profile for a 2022 model, suggesting the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy long-distance motorway use or high-frequency urban stop-start cycles. Mechanically, this level of accumulation typically means that major drivetrain components and suspension assemblies should not have reached their primary fatigue limits, though it does necessitate checking that the vehicle has not sat stationary for extended periods, which can affect rubber seals and fluid circulation. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the rear suspension and steering geometry to address the uneven tyre wear noted in the 2025 record. During a test drive, pay close attention to whether the vehicle pulls to one side under braking or during straight-line cruising on a level surface, as this can indicate misaligned camber or toe settings. Additionally, listen for any rhythmic thumping or irregular vibrations coming from the rear of the car at varying speeds, which could suggest issues with the rear axle, wheel bearings, or worn suspension bushes that are contributing to the edge wear on the tyres. Given the specific mention of edge wear, it is also prudent to inspect the condition of the rear suspension linkages and any associated bushings for signs of excessive play or perishing. While the MOT record does not show structural failures or brake system defects, the unevenness of the tyre tread suggests that the geometry is not currently optimal. Ensuring that a professional four-wheel alignment is performed and that the rear tyres are replaced with matched pairs will be a necessary step to restore correct handling characteristics and prevent further uneven degradation.
