2017 Peugeot 3008 1.2L Petrol · KN17 TYD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, passing its most recent inspection in March 2026 at 39,926 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history reveals a recurring issue with rubber-based components. While the car failed in 2024 due to structural failures in both front tyres, the subsequent passes show no new mechanical defects, suggesting that the owner is responsive to MOT failures once they are identified by the tester. The mileage profile is significantly low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,436 miles per year. This usage pattern typically places less strain on the drivetrain and engine components, but it often leads to the degradation of materials. Between April 2024 and March 2026, the vehicle covered only 7,069 miles. This low frequency of use explains the perishing issues noted in the 2026 test, as tyres and rubber bushes can dry out and crack due to age and inactivity rather than physical tread wear. A buyer should specifically inspect the condition of all four tyres, as the March 2026 advisory noted cracking and perishing on both rear tyres. The 2023 test flagged play in both front anti-roll bar ball joints and a defective exhaust mounting, so a physical check of the front suspension ensures these were replaced and have not developed new play. Given the low mileage, the brakes should also be examined for corrosion on the discs and calipers, as vehicles that sit for long periods are prone to surface rust and seized braking components.
