2018 Peugeot 3008 1.2L Petrol · FN68 UJB

The 2018 PEUGEOT 3008 presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT on 13 August 2025 at 41,036 miles recording zero defects. Every annual test since August 2022 has passed cleanly, indicating no recurring mechanical or structural faults have surfaced under DVSA inspection standards. The vehicle has not triggered any advisories or failures across four consecutive test cycles, suggesting consistent baseline upkeep and no developing corrosion, suspension degradation, or braking system deterioration. The mileage accumulation tells a measured story. Between 25 August 2022 at 28,175 miles and 24 August 2023 at 32,824 miles, the car covered 4,649 miles. The following twelve months to 21 August 2024 saw 4,398 miles added, and the most recent interval to 13 August 2025 recorded 3,814 miles. Annual usage has tapered slightly but remains steady, averaging roughly 4,300 miles per year against an expected norm closer to 8,000 to 12,000 for this age bracket. The 2024 test shows both a pass and a fail logged on the same date at the same mileage, which typically indicates an initial presentation issue such as a blown bulb or low screenwash corrected immediately before a retest, rather than a genuine mechanical defect. With no MOT-flagged faults to chase, a prospective buyer should focus on components that low annual mileage and eight years of age can quietly compromise. Inspect all four tyres for date codes and sidewall cracking, as rubber perishes from age and UV exposure regardless of tread depth. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion and the caliper slides for free movement, since short trips and standing periods promote pitting and sticking. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, and verify the exhaust system for corrosion at joints and hangers. A physical underbody inspection for structural rust around the subframes and sills remains prudent, as the MOT record only captures what was visible at each test and cannot account for damage or poor repairs done outside the inspection window.
