2018 Peugeot 3008 1.5L Diesel · KT18 VAA

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 68,364 miles passed without mechanical failures, the tester noted both rear tyres were reaching the legal limit. This follows a recurring pattern where faults are only addressed after they trigger an MOT failure, as seen in April 2024 when the vehicle failed on multiple tyres and a headlamp. The mileage profile is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per annum. There is a notable gap of over 9,600 miles covered between March 2023 and April 2024, which suggests a period of higher use. However, the March 2023 test at 54,203 miles highlighted that all four tyres had perished, indicating the car likely sat stationary for long periods prior to that date, which can lead to degradation of rubber components regardless of the low annual mileage. A buyer should closely inspect the suspension geometry, as the repeated reports of tyres wearing uneven on the edges across 2024 and 2025 suggest potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. The previous failure of the anti-roll bar linkage in 2023 necessitates a physical check of all rubber joints for play or tearing. Additionally, since the front brake pads were flagged as thin in 2024, the remaining life of the components should be verified to ensure they were properly followed up after that initial advisory.
