2017 Peugeot 3008 1.2L Petrol · GY60 LBY

The most recent MOT history for this 2017 Peugeot 3008, tested just three months ago on 28 April 2025, confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy with no defects recorded. The single failure on 25 April 2025—unusually noted without specific defects—stands out as an anomaly rather than a trend, as all other tests since 2022 have passed without issue. This suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, avoiding major mechanical failures, but the abrupt retest just three days later implies either a procedural oversight or a minor unresolved issue that did not meet the threshold for a defect. The lack of advisories or recurring faults in the last three tests indicates no systematic neglect of critical components like suspension, brakes, or emissions systems. The recorded mileage of 40,850 miles over nine years—roughly 4,500 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, particularly given the 2017 model year’s typical usage patterns. The mileage increments between tests are consistent: 3,475 miles between the 2022 and 2023 tests, 6,987 miles between 2023 and 2024, and 7,468 miles between 2024 and 2025. While this suggests limited high-mileage wear, the prolonged periods without movement—such as the 18-month gap between 2022 and 2023—could indicate extended periods of storage, potentially accelerating issues like tyre degradation or battery drain. The absence of any advisory notes on fluids or corrosion in earlier tests does not rule out these risks entirely, however. A buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the suspension components, particularly the rear axle and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and low mileage. The lack of advisories does not preclude wear in suspension bushes or ball joints, which can degrade even with minimal use over time. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as the 2025 failure—despite no recorded defects—could hint at a marginal issue that was not severe enough to fail but may recur. Corrosion, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, is another critical area; the low mileage does not negate the risk of environmental damage over nine years. Finally, the battery and electrical systems warrant scrutiny, as prolonged storage can lead to parasitic drain or reduced capacity, even if the vehicle has passed MOT tests without fail.
