2019 Peugeot 3008 1.2L Petrol · GK19 UTT

A history of intermittent lighting failures and recurring tyre wear advisories defines this vehicle's recent MOT profile. While the most recent test on 10 August 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects, the record shows a significant failure in August 2025 involving both nearside and offside dipped beam headlamps and an inability to test headlamp aim. This indicates a specific period where the lighting system's functionality or alignment was compromised. Aside from that failure, the testing trend has been relatively stable, though the presence of multiple tyre advisories in previous years suggests a pattern of running consumables close to their legal limits. The vehicle has covered 46,453 miles over approximately seven years, which equates to an average annual usage of roughly 6,636 miles. This mileage accumulation is consistent with typical light-to-moderate usage for a 2019 Peugeot 3008. Mechanically, this level of usage suggests that while the drivetrain and major mechanical components may not have been subjected to high-mileage stress, the vehicle has been driven frequently enough to avoid the specific degradation associated with long-term stationary periods. The mileage is consistent with the intervals between the recorded MOT tests, showing no evidence of sudden or excessive distance accumulation between inspections. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the lighting and electrical systems given the major failure recorded in 2025. During a test drive, verify that both dipped and main beam headlamps operate correctly and that the beam pattern is steady and correctly aimed against a wall in a dark environment. Any flickering or intermittent failure in the headlight units could indicate electrical faults or issues with the headlight leveling mechanism. While the most recent test showed no defects, the previous failure regarding headlamp aim suggests that the alignment components or the electronic control of the beam direction should be thoroughly checked for consistency. The recurring advisories for tyres worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges in 2022 and 2023 warrant a physical inspection of the current tyre tread and sidewall condition. Specifically, check for uneven wear patterns on the inner or outer edges of the tyres, as this can be a symptom of incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes. On the test drive, listen for any rhythmic thumping or humming from the tyres and feel for any pulling to one side or steering instability, which would indicate that the alignment issues noted in previous years have not been fully rectified or have recurred.
