2017 Peugeot 3008 2.0L Diesel · CE17 UOX

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding deferred attention to consumables and suspension components. The most recent test in May 2026 at 65,437 miles identified multiple advisories including perished front tyres, anti-roll bar linkage ball joint play, and pitted rear brake discs. While the car passed, the recurring nature of these defects suggests that the current owner only addresses faults once they reach an MOT threshold rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. There is a notable period of activity between May 2023 and May 2024, where the car covered over 5,000 miles in a short window, leading to a failure at 53,010 miles. Since that failure, the vehicle has covered roughly 12,400 miles over two years. The low annual mileage explains the perishing of rubber components like tyres, which often degrade due to age rather than through tread wear. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension anti-roll bar linkages, as this component has been flagged in four separate tests back to 2022. The persistent play indicates the ball joints are nearing failure and likely require replacement soon. The rear braking system also shows a history of corrosion and pitting on the discs, which persisted from 2024 through 2026. Furthermore, the cracking and perishing noted on the front tyres indicate that the rubber is reaching the end of its structural life regardless of remaining tread, necessitating immediate replacement to ensure safety.
