2018 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · KU18 CYS

The vehicle maintains a consistent record of passing its annual inspections, though the most recent test on 7 November 2025 at 101,119 miles indicates a slight decline in maintenance standards. While the car achieved a pass, the tester identified three tyres exhibiting signs of cracking and perishing, alongside a worn nearside front lower suspension arm bush. This shift from the clean records seen in 2023 and 2024 suggests that the owner may be deferring necessary consumable replacements, moving the vehicle from a well-maintained state toward one requiring immediate preventative investment. The recorded mileage of 101,119 miles over eight years reflects an average annual usage of approximately 12,640 miles, which is notably higher than the typical UK average. The data shows a period of intensive use between July 2022 and November 2023, where the vehicle covered over 17,000 miles in roughly sixteen months. This high-mileage profile indicates the car has likely spent significant time on motorways or A-roads, placing predictable strain on drivetrain components and suspension geometry rather than the accelerated wear often associated with short-trip urban driving. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension arm bushes and the current condition of all four tyres. The recurring issue of perishing rubber, noted in both 2022 and 2025, implies that the vehicle may be parked in direct sunlight or exposed to harsh environmental conditions that degrade tyre compounds prematurely. You must verify the remaining tread depth and check for uneven wear patterns that would confirm if the suspension bush play has progressed beyond the advisory stage. Given the high mileage, listen for any knocking sounds from the front end during a test drive, as the suspension components have reached a lifecycle stage where replacement is expected.
