2019 Peugeot 3008 GT Line Puretech S/S 1.2L Petrol · FN69 ULF

The most recent DVSA MOT test on this 2019 Peugeot 3008 GT Line PureTech S/S was conducted on 5 August 2026 and resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded, confirming the vehicle met the minimum roadworthiness requirements at the time of inspection. Evaluating the broader trend across the available test history, the vehicle has passed every annual examination since 2022 without any outright failures, which indicates a fundamentally sound mechanical condition. However, the advisory history does reveal a recurring pattern of premature or uneven tyre wear, particularly on the front axle, with both fronts flagged as worn on edge at 2mm during the 2025 test and all three tyres on the near front, off front, and off rear reaching the legal limit during the 2024 inspection. This consistent advisory pattern suggests an underlying issue such as suspension geometry misalignment, worn suspension bushes, or weak coil springs, all of which warrant closer physical investigation even though no advisory was raised at the most recent test. With 42,460 miles recorded over approximately seven years, this vehicle has covered around 6,066 miles annually, which is broadly consistent with typical usage for a car of this age and segment. There are no significant gaps or unusually rapid accumulation of mileage visible in the recorded data, and the steady progression suggests the vehicle has been in regular use rather than left standing for prolonged periods or subjected to excessive high-mileage wear. The drivetrain, braking components, and clutch should therefore be at a stage where they have experienced normal wear rather than being prematurely fatigued, and the relatively modest annual mileage implies that the PureTech engine and associated turbocharging components have not been excessively stressed. Given the recurring advisory pattern relating to tyre wear, a prospective buyer should pay particular attention to the suspension and steering geometry during a physical inspection. Uneven or edge wear on the front tyres commonly points to misalignment of the front axle, which on this generation of Peugeot 3008 is often attributable to worn lower suspension bushes, tired top mount bearings, or sagging coil springs, all of which are age-related concerns. On a test drive, listen for any knocking or clonking noises from the front suspension over uneven road surfaces, pay attention to any pulling to one side under braking or acceleration, and check for excessive vibration through the steering wheel. It would also be prudent to request a current wheel alignment printout from the seller, as a recent four-wheel geometry check would go a long way toward explaining and resolving the repeated tyre wear advisories. Beyond the suspension concerns, the relatively low annual mileage means that several age-related deterioration issues should be prioritised during a physical inspection. Tyres fitted to a low-mileage vehicle often suffer from sidewall perishing and cracking due to UV exposure and age rather than tread wear, so the sidewalls should be carefully examined for any hairline cracks even if the tread depth appears adequate. Brake discs on a lightly used car are susceptible to corrosion and the calipers may bind due to infrequent use, so the wheels should be spun to confirm smooth rotation and the brake feel tested for firm pedal response without any juddering on application. The 12V battery, coolant, brake fluid, and automatic transmission fluid if applicable will all be subject to calendar-based degradation rather than mileage-based wear, so service history should be examined to confirm that these items have been changed at their recommended intervals, with particular attention to the timing belt or chain service schedule which is a known consideration on the PureTech engine family.
