2017 Peugeot 3008 1.2L Petrol · FV17 HFK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a consistent pattern of reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent MOT test in October 2025 at 88,000 miles identified severely deteriorated condition on both front drive shaft constant velocity boots. While the vehicle passed after these repairs, this indicates a failure to monitor rubber components before they reach a point of mechanical risk. The overall trend remains stable in terms of passing tests, but the owner consistently addresses faults only after a formal failure occurs. At 88,000 miles over nine years, the Peugeot has averaged approximately 9,800 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a family SUV. The mileage accumulation shows steady progression, notably with roughly 14,000 miles covered between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 12,500 miles between October 2024 and 2025. This regular use suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, which is generally beneficial for maintaining seals and preventing the breakdown of rubber-based components. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the suspension and braking systems, as these areas show recurring issues. The record shows multiple failures related to anti-roll bar linkages, worn brake pads, and pitted brake discs between 2020 and 2022. Furthermore, the consistent history of tyres being worn to the legal limit or below suggests that basic consumable maintenance is often deferred until necessary. The recent failure of the CV boots necessitates a check for grease leakage or joint vibration during acceleration, which could indicate ongoing stress on the drivetrain components.
