2018 Peugeot 3008 1.2L Petrol · CV68 EYB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on January 7, 2026, at69,266 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The car failed the test on that same day due to dual dipped beam headlamp failures and ineffective windscreen wipers, necessitating immediate rectification. While the latest result is clean, the history suggests the owner only addresses mechanical defects once they result in a formal MOT test failure. At 69,266 miles, the 2018 Peugeot has averaged approximately 8,650 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a family crossover of this age. There is a notable gap of roughly 4,700 miles between the August 2023 and September 2024 tests, followed by nearly 9,400 miles leading to the most recent inspection. This consistent mileage indicates the vehicle is used regularly, which explains the steady wear on consumable components recorded across the years. A buyer must pay close attention to the braking system, as the record shows recurring issues. Front and rear pads and discs were flagged as worn at 55,136 miles in 2023 and again as a failure at 59,885 miles in 2024. The persistence of these brake-related defects, combined with a noted oil leak in 2024, requires a thorough physical inspection of the engine seals and the hydraulic system to ensure no deeper mechanical failures are present. The offside rear tyre was flagged for incorrect wear patterns in 2024, which indicates potential alignment issues or neglected suspension geometry work. The purchaser should check the current tyres for uneven wear and inspect the suspension bushes and bushings for excessive play. Given the recent failure of the wipers and lamps in January 2026, verify that these electrical components and wiper blades have been replaced with high-quality parts rather than temporary fixes.
