2018 Peugeot 3008 1.2L Petrol · DA18 YTT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass in April 2026 at 54,341 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of recent instability evidenced by a failure just six days prior to the most recent test. In that failure, the tester identified critical suspension defects involving both the nearside and offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joints, alongside a headlamp aim issue. While these faults were rectified to achieve the subsequent pass, they indicate a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical low-use usage, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 10,493 miles between the April 2024 test at 27,532 miles and the April 2025 test at 38,025 miles, which suggests steady annual use. However, the 16,316 miles covered between April 2025 and April 2026 represents a significant increase in usage, which likely correlates with the accelerated wear seen on the braking system and suspension components recorded during that specific period. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension assembly to ensure the anti-roll bar linkages have been properly replaced and are free of play. The 2025 record flagged thin pads and pitted or scored discs on both front sides, so the current state of the braking hardware must be verified to determine if they are nearing another service interval. Given the 2023 advisory regarding a perishing rear tyre, a thorough inspection of all tyre sidewalls is necessary to check for cracking, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from rubber degradation despite sufficient tread depth.
