2018 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · KV18 FWT

The most recent MOT test conducted on 10 June 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Reviewing the history back to 2022, the vehicle has maintained a consistently clean record with no advisories or failures across five consecutive tests. This indicates a highly stable maintenance trend and suggests that the vehicle has been kept in a condition that exceeds the minimum legal requirements for roadworthiness. With a recorded mileage of 59,704 miles over approximately eight years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 7,463 miles per year. This represents a typical usage profile for this model, avoiding the extremes of excessive wear associated with high-mileage fleet use and the potential degradation caused by prolonged periods of standing. Mechanically, this mileage suggests that major drivetrain components should still possess significant remaining life, although consumables will be approaching their mid-to-late life cycle. Despite the clean MOT history, a physical inspection is necessary to identify wear that does not necessarily trigger a test failure. You should closely examine the tyre sidewalls for signs of perishing or fine cracking, which can occur as rubber ages regardless of remaining tread depth. Check the brake discs for any significant lip formation or surface corrosion, and ensure there is no binding in the calipers during a test drive. Pay particular attention to the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue or splitting, as these rubber components degrade over time due to environmental exposure. It is essential to verify the service history to ensure that calendar-based maintenance has been performed. Even with moderate mileage, engine oil, coolant, and brake fluid degrade over time and should be replaced according to the manufacturer's intervals. Check the health of the 12V battery, as an eight-year-old unit may be nearing the end of its reliable service life. Finally, listen for any unusual knocks or clunks from the underbody during low-speed manoeuvres, which could indicate the onset of wear in the steering rack or suspension linkages.
