2017 Peugeot 3008 1.2L Petrol · FV67 OBM

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate, but the maintenance trend shows a significant decline in proactive care. While it passed the most recent test on 28 July 2026 at 80,489 miles, this followed a comprehensive failure just two days prior. The 2026 failure revealed multiple critical safety issues, including exposed tyre cords and a split CV boot, indicating that the owner is only addressing mechanical faults when forced by a test failure rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. However, there is a notable gap in usage data between December 2022 and December 2023, where the mileage increased by only 2,822 miles over a full year. Since that period, usage has accelerated sharply, covering over 54,000 miles in the last three years of the recorded history provided. This sudden surge in mileage correlates with the rapid degradation of consumables, as seen in the 2025 and 2026 tests. A buyer must inspect the offside front drive shaft personally, as the split CV boot flagged in 2025 and 2026 can lead to gearbox damage if not replaced. The history also shows a recurring neglect of the braking system, with rear pads found worn to the limit in both July 2025 and July 2026. Given that all four tyres were at or below the legal limit or failing during the 2026 test, the current state of the rubberwork and the underlying suspension geometry should be checked for uneven wear or alignment issues. The presence of child seats and items obstructing the driver's view during multiple tests suggests a lack of attention to basic vehicle presentation and safety standards.
