2020 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Petrol · CF20 EXU

This 2020 Peugeot 3008 presents a clean bill of health on the MOT record, with a stable and improving maintenance trend culminating in a completely defect-free pass on 22 May 2025 at 44,565 miles. No advisories or failures have been recorded across any of the three documented tests. This is a strong indicator of consistent upkeep and no outstanding mechanical or structural concerns at the point of last inspection. The mileage accumulation tells an unusual but not necessarily problematic story. Between the April 2024 test at 21,907 miles and the May 2025 test at 44,565 miles, the vehicle covered approximately 22,658 miles in just over twelve months, a sharp jump compared to the earlier period where it accumulated 3,802 miles between August 2023 and April 2024. That earlier gap suggests the car may have stood idle or seen very light use for roughly eight months, which can sometimes lead to issues like flat-spotted tyres, brake surface corrosion, or battery drain, though none of these surfaced as defects at the subsequent test. The annualised average of around 7,428 miles remains typical for a vehicle of this age. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still carry out a thorough physical inspection. The period of low mileage between mid-2023 and early 2024 warrants a close look at the condition of the tyre sidewalls for perishing and the brake discs for surface corrosion, both of which can develop when a vehicle sits unused. The 1.5-litre BlueHDi diesel engine fitted to this generation of 3008 is known for EGR valve and DPF sensitivity, particularly if short journeys dominate, so checking for soot buildup or warning lights is advisable. Inspect the front and rear suspension bushes and drop links for play, as these commonly wear on heavier SUVs even at moderate mileage. Examine the underbody and wheel arches for corrosion, paying particular attention to the rear subframe mounting points, which have been flagged on some PSA-platform vehicles. The clean MOT history is encouraging, but a test drive and independent inspection remain essential before committing to purchase.
