2022 Peugeot 3008 1.5L Diesel · CX72 ACF

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 1 August 2026 at 49,186 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating an improving maintenance trend following the central rear seat belt failure noted in the 29 June 2026 test. That prior failure was resolved, as evidenced by the subsequent pass. The 10 July 2025 test at 34,133 miles also passed without issues, suggesting no chronic mechanical deficiencies. However, the narrow gap between the failure and pass in June-July 2026 implies a recent corrective action was taken, which is a positive sign of responsiveness to faults. Mileage accumulation is notably high for a 2022 model, averaging approximately 12,296 miles annually. The jump from 34,133 miles in July 2025 to 49,186 miles in July 2026 reflects an extra 15,000 miles in just one year, indicating either intensive use or potential discrepancies in mileage recording. Such rapid accumulation raises concerns about accelerated wear on consumables and mechanical components. The two consecutive MOTs in 2026 at nearly identical mileages (49,185 and 49,186) suggest minimal usage between tests, which may point to a short MOT window or a vehicle that was stationary for extended periods before being driven again. Prospective buyers should verify the condition of the central rear seat belt mechanism, given its recent failure, and inspect for signs of excessive wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake components due to the high annual mileage. Tyre tread depth and alignment should be checked, as rapid mileage can exacerbate uneven wear. Additionally, the exhaust emissions system and structural integrity warrant scrutiny, particularly for corrosion around wheel arches and sills, common in high-mileage vehicles. The engine and transmission should be evaluated for signs of stress or fluid leaks, given the accelerated usage pattern. Finally, reviewing service history documentation will clarify whether the elevated mileage reflects diligent maintenance or potential neglect of routine upkeep.
