2018 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · KU18 CYC

The current roadworthiness status of this Peugeot 3008 is stable, though the most recent test from March 2026 at 79,078 miles indicates a significant accumulation of consumable wear items. While the vehicle passed the inspection, the presence of multiple advisories regarding tyre condition and brake component degradation suggests that maintenance has become reactive rather than proactive. The recurring nature of these minor faults points to a vehicle that is being used consistently without the necessary preventative servicing required to keep the chassis and braking systems in optimal condition. The vehicle shows an average annual usage of approximately 9,885 miles, which is consistent with typical private ownership patterns for a vehicle of this class. The mileage progression remains linear, jumping from 13,371 miles in April 2022 to the current 79,078 miles, indicating no unusual periods of inactivity. This steady usage profile suggests the mechanical components have been subject to regular thermal cycling and road stress, which aligns with the wear patterns observed in the MOT history. A prospective buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system, specifically the rear discs and pads, as these have been flagged for scoring, pitting, and thinning since 2022. The persistent advisories regarding the anti-roll bar linkage ball joints in both the 2025 and 2026 tests indicate a recurring suspension weakness that likely requires replacement of these links to restore handling precision. Furthermore, the tyre condition noted in the latest test suggests the vehicle may require a full set of tyres and a professional four-wheel alignment check to address the uneven wear patterns identified by the examiner.
