2020 Peugeot 3008 1.5L Diesel · FV69 AEJ

The 2020 Peugeot 3008 demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its most recent MOT on 2025-08-14 at 80,836 miles, which passed without defects. The preceding three tests from 2023 to 2024 also passed, with no recorded issues. However, a failed test on 2023-06-05 at 48,626 miles—despite no defects listed—introduces an anomaly. This suggests either a technical error or an unrecorded fault, warranting closer scrutiny of the vehicle’s systems. Overall, the maintenance trend shows consistency, but the 2023 failure raises questions about potential undetected issues. The vehicle’s mileage of 80,836 miles over six years equates to approximately 13,473 miles annually, exceeding average usage. Notable gaps in the MOT history include a five-month interval between 2023-01-25 (47,821 miles) and 2023-06-05 (48,626 miles), during which mileage increased by just 805 miles, implying possible inactivity. Subsequent tests show rapid accumulation, reaching 63,641 miles by 2024-08-14 and 80,836 miles by 2025-08-14. This pattern suggests periods of heavy use, which could accelerate wear on consumables and mechanical components. The absence of defects in recent tests indicates diligent maintenance but does not rule out hidden deterioration. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension, brakes, and exhaust systems, as high mileage increases risk in these areas. Despite no recorded faults, the 2023 failed test—though unexplained—merits investigation into potential underlying issues. Structural integrity and corrosion should also be assessed, particularly around the chassis and underbody, as these are often overlooked in MOTs. While the vehicle’s MOT history appears clean, the combination of high mileage and an unexplained failure underscores the need for a thorough pre-purchase examination by a qualified mechanic.
