2021 Peugeot 3008 GT Premium S/S Phev Auto 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · HC21 FLE

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 2 July 2026 with no defects or advisories recorded. Reviewing the history back to 2024, the maintenance trend is exceptionally stable, with three consecutive clean passes. This suggests a high standard of preventative care and a vehicle that has been kept in a roadworthy condition without the emergence of common wear-and-tear issues typically seen as a vehicle enters its fifth year of service. With a recorded mileage of 44,967 miles over approximately five years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 8,993 miles per annum. This represents a typical usage profile for this class of vehicle, avoiding the risks associated with excessive wear from high-mileage commuting or the mechanical degradation caused by prolonged periods of standing. The consistency of this usage suggests a balanced load on the hybrid drivetrain and suspension components. Given the clean MOT record, the physical inspection should focus on age-related consumables and the specific characteristics of a plug-in hybrid. You should closely examine the tyre sidewalls for any signs of perishing or ozone cracking, regardless of the remaining tread depth. Particular attention must be paid to the brake discs; because PHEVs rely heavily on regenerative braking, the traditional friction brakes are used less frequently, which can lead to surface corrosion or binding calipers. During the test drive, listen for any rhythmic scrubbing sounds or feel for brake shudder, which would indicate uneven disc wear. Furthermore, verify that the service history confirms calendar-based fluid intervals rather than relying solely on mileage, as engine oil and coolant degrade over time. Check the health of the 12V auxiliary battery, as these can fail prematurely in hybrid vehicles. Finally, inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for any signs of splitting or corrosion, and ensure the high-voltage battery charging port and cable are free from debris or damage. A thorough review of the service book stamps will confirm if the vehicle has adhered to the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule.
