2019 Peugeot 3008 1.2L Petrol · KP19 AEU

The 2019 Peugeot 3008 presents a largely sound mechanical record, though the most recent MOT on 30 March 2026 at 31,318 miles flagged two rear brake defects that warrant attention. Rear brake pads were recorded as wearing thin, and the rear brake discs were noted as worn, pitted or scored, though not seriously weakened. This represents a shift from the clean pass recorded on 28 March 2025 at 28,156 miles, where the tester flagged front disc wear and both front tyres worn close to the legal limit, plus a cut on the nearside front tyre. The trend is therefore mixed. The vehicle passed cleanly in 2022, 2023, and 2024, suggesting a period of stable upkeep, but the reappearance of brake-related advisories in consecutive tests indicates consumable wear is now accelerating and should be monitored. At roughly 4,474 miles per year across seven years, this is a notably low-mileage vehicle. The annual increments are consistent, with no sudden jumps or suspiciously large gaps between tests. Mileage rose from 19,414 in March 2022 to 22,578 in March 2023, then to 26,092 in March 2024, 28,156 in March 2025, and finally 31,318 in March 2026. This steady accumulation points to regular rather than sporadic use, which is generally favourable for mechanical longevity. Low mileage alone does not eliminate the risk of corrosion or seized components from prolonged standing, but the consistent test history suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly enough to keep most systems in working order. The recurring theme across the last two MOTs is brake wear. Front discs were flagged in 2025, and rear pads and discs were flagged in 2026. A buyer should inspect the full braking system in person, checking disc thickness, pad condition, and whether any calipers are showing signs of binding. The 2025 advisory on both front tyres being worn close to the legal limit, combined with a cut on the nearside front, suggests tyre maintenance was not prioritised by the previous owner. All four tyres should be examined for uneven tread damage, age-related cracking, and correct specification. Beyond the recorded advisories, the low mileage and age mean suspension bushes, coil springs, and exhaust components deserve a thorough check for corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary. The clean passes between 2022 and 2024 are reassuring, but the emerging brake and tyre wear pattern in the last two tests signals that routine consumable replacement may have been deferred. A pre-purchase inspection focusing on braking components, tyre condition, and structural corrosion would be a prudent step before committing.
