2018 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Petrol · FT18 DPN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift towards reactive repairs regarding wear components. Following the most recent test in July 2025 at 32,170 miles, the tester identified thin brake pads on both front and rear axles, along with worn front discs. The presence of slight play in the nearside front anti-roll bar ball joint indicates that suspension components are beginning to reach the end of their service life, despite the low overall mileage of the car. The mileage profile is notably low for a 2018 Peugeot 3008, averaging only approximately 4,000 miles per year over eight years. There is a significant gap in usage between March 2022 at 4,930 miles and July 2023 at 13,823 miles, where the vehicle covered nearly 9,000 miles in just 16 months. This irregular usage pattern suggests long periods of standing stationary, which often explains the pitting and scoring on the front brake discs noted in 2023 despite the low mileage count. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, as the recurring reports of thin pads and worn discs suggest the owner only replaces components when they reach failure limits. The flagged anti-roll bar ball joint should be checked for further movement, and similar wear likely exists in the opposite suspension joints. Given the low-mileage history, one should also inspect rubber components, such as bushes and tyre sidewalls for cracking, as these parts degrade through age and oxidation rather than solely through mechanical use.
