2017 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Petrol · C7 BRD

The vehicle remains roadworthy as of its most recent MOT on 2025-10-30, passing with only a minor windscreen defect that does not impair visibility. The maintenance trend is stable in terms of overall compliance, though it shows a clear pattern of brake pad wear recurring on both front and rear axles over the past three years. This suggests consistent use and normal wear rather than neglect, with no structural or emissions-related failures recorded since 2022. The absence of major defects in 2022 and 2021 indicates the car was well maintained during its earlier years, and the recent pass confirms ongoing basic upkeep. Mileage progression aligns closely with the vehicle’s age — 63,704 miles over nine years equates to roughly 7,078 miles annually, which is within the typical range for a family SUV of this class. The gap between MOTs is consistently one year, with no sudden spikes or long periods of inactivity. The jump from 39,523 miles in 2022 to 56,877 miles in 2024 reflects a steady annual increase, and the final reading of 63,704 miles in 2025 confirms no anomalous usage. This pattern supports the conclusion that the car has been driven regularly but not excessively, with no signs of prolonged storage or heavy commercial use. Buyers should inspect the brake system in detail, particularly the rear axle, as thin pads were flagged in 2024 and again in 2023 on the front. While not an immediate failure, this recurring wear indicates the brake calipers or pads may be nearing replacement, and the suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for binding or excessive wear, especially if the car exhibits a bouncy or uneven ride. The windscreen damage, though not a failure, should be assessed for potential structural compromise or if it’s a result of impact that may have affected the frame or windscreen seal. Corrosion on the underbody or wheel arches should also be examined, as no structural rust was noted in the MOTs but may have developed since. Overall, the MOT history paints a picture of a mechanically sound vehicle with predictable wear patterns. The absence of major defects since 2022, combined with consistent annual mileage and recent passing status, suggests the car has been cared for. A buyer should treat the brake pads as a near-term replacement item and verify the suspension and structural integrity in person, especially if the vehicle shows any signs of uneven handling or noise. The windscreen should be replaced if the damage is extensive, though it does not currently affect roadworthiness.
