2018 Peugeot 3008 1.2L Petrol · BU18 FFS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 58,871 miles passed, it followed a failure just one day prior involving multiple mechanical and lighting defects. The trend shows that components are only addressed once they reach the point of MOT failure, suggesting the previous owner performs only the minimum work required to keep the car legal rather than following a rigorous preventative maintenance schedule. At eight years old with 58,871 miles, the Peugeot 3008 has averaged approximately 7,359 miles per year, which aligns closely with typical national averages for a family vehicle. The mileage accumulation between tests is consistent, with roughly 9,000 miles covered between April 2025 and April 2026, and approximately 6,600 miles in the preceding year. This steady usage pattern suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme stress, though the recorded history reveals specific wear patterns on consumable components. A buyer should focus their inspection on the braking system and suspension due to recurring issues. The April 2026 failure highlighted an offside rear brake pad below the 1.5mm thickness threshold and a nearside rear binding caliper, alongside worn front discs. Even though these were reportedly rectified, the presence of a binding caliper often indicates sticking pistons that can cause uneven wear. Furthermore, the anti-roll bar linkage ball joints showed play and perished boots in 2024 and 2025; while these were replaced to pass the later test, a physical check of the remaining front suspension bushings and linkages is necessary to ensure no further play is developing in the assembly.
