2021 Peugeot 3008 GT Prem P-Tech S/S A 1.2L Petrol · EP21 CTF

The 2021 Peugeot 3008 shows a stable roadworthiness trend over its MOT history, with the most recent test on 5 March 2026 at 45,905 miles passing without defects. This indicates no unresolved mechanical failures, though the September 2024 test at 39,254 miles revealed minor wear on the front brake pads—classified as a minor defect—while the April 2024 test at 18,124 miles recorded no issues. The absence of repeated major faults suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, though the child seat advisories in 2024 imply limited access for full brake and suspension inspections during that test. No advisories or failures related to structural integrity, emissions, or drivetrain were recorded, reinforcing the likelihood of a reliable powertrain and suspension layout. The mileage progression of 9,181 miles annually over roughly five years aligns with typical usage for this age and model, though the gap between the April 2024 (18,124 miles) and September 2024 (39,254 miles) tests suggests a significant period of standing or low mileage accumulation—approximately 21,130 miles in five months. This could indicate either reduced usage or extended periods off the road, which may have allowed some components to remain under stress longer than usual. The most recent test in March 2026, just 12 weeks prior to today, confirms the vehicle remains within its MOT validity window, though buyers should verify if any servicing or brake pad replacements were performed between tests. Given the history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the front brake system, particularly the pads and calipers, as the 2024 advisory indicated thinning wear. The rear brakes were not flagged in past tests, but binding or uneven wear could develop over time, especially if the vehicle has experienced uneven loading or aggressive braking. Suspension components such as bushes, coil springs, and struts should be examined for wear or corrosion, as the child seat advisories in 2024 may have obscured a full assessment of these areas. Structural underbody corrosion, particularly around wheel arches and sills, should also be checked, as this is a common failure point for vehicles of this age and mileage. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions controls were not noted in past tests, so visual inspection for leaks or excessive rust is advisable.
