2018 Peugeot 3008 1.5L Diesel · HS18 ABX

This 2018 Peugeot 3008 has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across all five tests, including the most recent examination on 19 March 2025 at 67,493 miles. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has been subjected to consistent, if not rigorous, maintenance, though the record does not reveal whether pre-MOT servicing was performed. The latest test was conducted just over 15 months ago, which is within the acceptable window for a vehicle of this age and mileage, though buyers should verify whether the current owner has adhered to the manufacturer’s recommended service intervals—particularly for high-mileage components like suspension bushes and timing belt systems. The mileage progression indicates a steady usage pattern, averaging approximately 8,400 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no unusual gaps or spikes; the most recent test occurred at 67,493 miles, following a 13,019-mile interval since the previous pass in March 2024. The lack of failures or advisories in any test implies that major wear items, such as brake discs or pads, exhaust systems, or suspension components, have not yet reached critical thresholds. However, the record does not provide insight into whether intermediate servicing—such as fluid changes or alignment checks—has been conducted, which could impact long-term reliability. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on high-wear components that are not directly tested during the MOT but are critical to the vehicle’s structural and functional integrity. The suspension system, particularly the coil springs and bushes, should be examined for uneven wear or corrosion, as these are prone to degradation over 8,000 miles annually. Brake calipers and binding points should be checked for excessive heat discolouration or fluid leaks, even though the MOT did not flag brake-related issues. Additionally, the underbody should be inspected for signs of corrosion, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, where moisture accumulation accelerates deterioration. Finally, the exhaust system’s mounting points and catalytic converter should be assessed for leaks or damage, as these are common failure points in vehicles of this age. The absence of MOT failures does not preclude the need for a thorough mechanical review.
