2018 Peugeot 3008 1.2L Petrol · GL18 XMW

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the most recent MOT test indicates a shift from perfect maintenance to reactive upkeep. While the car achieved clean passes between 2022 and 2024, the December 2025 test at 51,078 miles revealed multiple advisories related to wear parts. This trend suggests that while the vehicle is structurally sound, consumable components are now reaching the end of their service life and require attention. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year. There is a notable gap between the February 2023 test at 31,481 miles and the December 2023 test at 37,030 miles, representing a period of lower activity. However, the accumulation of over 8,500 miles between December 2024 and December 2025 shows a return to regular annual usage, which likely correlates with the accelerated wear observed on the braking system and tyres in the latest inspection. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system and tyres. The December 2025 record flagged thin offside rear brake pads and pitted, scored nearside rear brake discs, indicating the rear axle assembly requires immediate component replacement to ensure effective stopping. Furthermore, both front tyres are worn to the legal limit and showing edge wear, which often points to an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be verified. The 2022 advisory noted that undertrays prohibit a full view of the underside. While no structural corrosion was reported, a prudent buyer should request that the vehicle be lifted to check for any hidden rust or fluid leaks that the undertrays might mask. Given the low mileage, the mechanical integrity of the drivetrain appears stable, but the recent faults highlight that the previous owner was only performing as much maintenance as necessary to pass the test.
