2019 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Petrol · EX69 CWT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in August 2025 at 30,472 miles identified thin wear on both front and rear brake pads. While the vehicle passed, the presence of these defects indicates that the owner is only addressing consumable components once they approach the point of failure rather than following a strict preventative service schedule. The mileage profile is notably low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,353 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between July 2022 and August 2023, where the car covered only 5,559 miles. However, usage increased sharply between 2023 and 2024, with 8,483 miles clocked in a single year. This low annual mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components, as evidenced by the cracking and perishing noted during the August 2024 inspection. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyre set, as the 2024 failure highlighted exposed cords on the nearside front and perishing across the rear. These issues suggest the vehicle sat stationary for long periods, causing the rubber to dry rot despite low tread. The braking system requires immediate attention as well, as the thin pads recorded in 2025 are likely nearing their replacement limit now. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also check for seized brake calipers or perished suspension bushes, which are common symptoms in vehicles that are used infrequently.
