2018 Peugeot 3008 1.2L Petrol · DF60 JAN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in February 2026 at 74,132 miles identified a worn nearside front lower suspension arm pin or bush. While this did not result in a failure, it marks the beginning of suspension wear that requires monitoring. Prior to this, the vehicle maintained a clean record, suggesting that the mechanical condition remains stable provided current faults are addressed. The recorded mileage of 74,132 miles over eight years averages to approximately 9,266 miles per annum. This figure aligns closely with typical UK usage patterns for a modern SUV of this age. The intervals between tests are consistent, with roughly 11,000 miles covered between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 9,000 miles leading into the February 2026 test. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly rather than suffering stationary for long periods of inactivity. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the tyres, as the history reveals multiple failures related to structural tyre damage. In February 2024, the vehicle failed for exposed cords and deep cuts on the front tyres, while the February 2025 test failed due to structural bulges and lumps on the rear tyres along with insufficient tread depth. These failures indicate the previous owner ignored critical safety defects until prompted by the MOT tester. Specific attention must also be paid to the front suspension geometry. Given the advisory on the worn nearside front suspension arm bush in the 2026 record, an inspector should check for excessive play in the steering components and verify the integrity of remaining rubber bushings. While there is no history of structural corrosion or brake failures, the primary risks are limited to consumable wear and the gradual degradation of the suspension system.
