2017 Peugeot 3008 1.2L Petrol · EO17 EJD

The most recent MOT on 2026-02-18 shows the vehicle failed due to critical tyre issues, including a bulging nearside front tyre (5.2.3 (d) (ii)) and near-limit wear on both front tyres (5.2.3 (e)). A separate passed MOT on the same date lists minor defects, such as cracked front tyres and worn brake discs. This inconsistency suggests potential errors in testing or unresolved issues requiring immediate attention. Recurring mechanical patterns include tyre degradation (cracking, perishing, and near-limit wear) and brake disc wear (pitting or scoring on both front and rear discs). These issues have appeared in multiple MOTs since 2024, with the 2026 failed test highlighting worsening tyre conditions. The brake disc problems, while not yet critical, indicate ongoing wear that could escalate without maintenance. The trend shows a worsening condition in tyre health and brake disc maintenance. While 2025 and 2024 MOTs had minor defects, the 2026 results reflect more severe issues, suggesting neglect or accelerated wear. However, the low mileage (35,201 miles over 9 years) complicates interpretation—this could mean lighter use, but also potential periods of inactivity, which may contribute to tyre aging and brake component deterioration. The vehicle’s mileage is below average for its age , which might reduce wear on some components but does not eliminate risks from tyre and brake maintenance.
