2020 Peugeot 3008 1.2L Petrol · FN70 RYC

The 2020 Peugeot 3008 has maintained a clean MOT history across three consecutive tests, all passing without defects or advisories. The most recent inspection on 23 September 2025—just under a year ago—confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical failures, and the absence of advisories suggests the tester did not identify any components requiring imminent attention. This pattern indicates stable maintenance, though the low mileage means wear items like brake pads and suspension bushes may still be within serviceable limits. The recorded mileage of 15,249 miles over five years—approximately 2,542 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. The incremental increases between tests (9,810 to 15,249 miles between September 2024 and September 2025) suggest the car has spent extended periods stationary rather than in regular use. This could imply storage without proper care, potentially accelerating issues like battery discharge or minor corrosion. The consistent 12-month intervals between MOTs further imply the vehicle has not been driven frequently enough to trigger more frequent inspections. Given the lack of recorded faults, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear components that often fail silently at low mileages. Focus on the suspension system—particularly the rear coil springs and bushes—for signs of perishing or excessive play, as these are prone to deterioration even with minimal use. Examine the brake calipers and discs for binding or uneven wear, despite the clean MOT history, as moisture and corrosion can affect components left unused. Additionally, check for corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and underbody, especially if the vehicle has been stored outdoors or in damp conditions. The battery should also be tested, as prolonged inactivity can lead to sulfation or reduced capacity. While the MOT record is reassuring, these areas warrant close scrutiny to confirm the vehicle’s true condition.
