2018 Peugeot 3008 1.2L Petrol · KT18 OXV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 61,140 miles resulted in a pass, the vehicle failed on multiple faults immediately prior to that same test. The recurrence of the nearside front anti-roll bar ball joint play between 2023 and 2025 suggests that suspension components are only being addressed once they reach failure thresholds rather than during scheduled servicing. At 61,140 miles over eight years, the Peugeot covers an average of approximately 7,600 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for its age. The data shows a consistent annual testing pattern with mileage increments of roughly 8,000 to 9,000 miles between MOT appointments. This regular interval suggests the car does not sit idle for long periods, which is generally beneficial for seals and mechanical components, though the low mileage means that wear on items like tyres is driven more by age and environment than high distance. A buyer should prioritise a close inspection of the nearside front anti-roll bar assembly, as this component was flagged for play in both 2023 and 2025. The repeated nature of this fault indicates a potential failure to replace the part correctly or underlying wear. Additionally, the failure in 2024 due to nearside rear brake pads being below 1.5mm thickness highlights that brake service intervals are neglected until the point of failure. The buyer must verify remaining tyre life and check for uneven wear, as the offside rear tyre was noted as being edge-worn in the most recent test, which could indicate an alignment issue.
