2018 Peugeot 3008 1.2L Petrol · FN18 BNF

The vehicle presents a highly stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent test. The tester recorded zero defects during the 2025-05-16 assessment at 40,343 miles, confirming the Peugeot 3008 currently meets all structural and mechanical roadworthiness standards. A single failed test occurred on 2023-05-26 at 30,380 miles, though the record shows no specific defects noted for that failure, suggesting a minor issue was rectified before the retest passed on the same day. This pattern implies the previous owner addressed faults promptly rather than ignoring them. The mileage accumulation reflects consistent, low-intensity usage rather than long periods of inactivity. Between the 2022-05-20 test at 24,323 miles and the 2025-05-16 test at 40,343 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 16,000 miles over three years, averaging approximately 5,300 miles annually. This steady, low-mileage accumulation points to regular short-to-medium distance driving rather than prolonged standing, which prevents the dried suspension bushes and seized brake calipers often seen on vehicles left idle for months. Despite the clean MOT record, a physical inspection must focus on the specific wear patterns associated with low-mileage, older vehicles. Buyers should closely examine the condition of the tyres, checking the date codes and sidewalls for age-related cracking, as rubber degrades over the eight-year lifespan regardless of tread depth. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and uneven wear, since light driving often prevents the pads from wiping the rotors clean, leading to binding calipers or pitting. Suspension bushes and coil springs require scrutiny for perishing, and a thorough underbody check will verify the structural integrity against corrosion, ensuring the low mileage has not masked any environmental deterioration.
