2018 Peugeot 3008 1.5L Diesel · J7 JDA

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of deferred attention regarding wear components. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 51,197 miles passed, it carried over advisories for a worn nearside front suspension bush and a rear tyre reaching the legal limit. This follows a recurring pattern seen in the previous three years, indicating that the owner tends to address faults only when they approach the MOT failure threshold rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 51,197 miles over eight years, the Peugeot has averaged approximately 6,400 miles per annum, which aligns with typical low-to-moderate usage patterns. The mileage accumulation is steady between annual tests, with 7,814 miles covered between October 2024 and 2025, and another 7,279 miles between 2023 and 2024. This consistent usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation which often leads to degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the nearside front arm bush has been flagged repeatedly in 2022, 2023, and 2025. The lack of replacement for this component despite multiple warnings likely contributes to the uneven tyre wear noted throughout the history. The record shows consistent inner edge wear on the front tyres across 2022 and 2024, which points to a persistent alignment issue or worn bushings that requires a professional diagnosis to rectify. The braking system also warrants a close look following the 2023 report of thin pads and pitted discs on both axles. While these may have been replaced since then, the current state of the pad thickness and disc surface should be verified. Given the history of sidewall damage and edge wear, the buyer should also inspect the current set of tyres to ensure no further structural damage exists on the rubber.
