2021 Peugeot 3008 1.2L Petrol · LA70 UAF

This 2021 Peugeot 3008 presents a largely unblemished roadworthiness record, with three consecutive passes across its first three MOT tests and no failures or dangerous defects recorded at any point. The only blemish on the file is a pair of advisories from the October 2024 test, where both rear tyres were noted as slightly damaged, cracking or perishing. The subsequent test on 10 October 2025 passed with no defects recorded at all, which indicates the tyre concern was resolved and no new issues emerged in the intervening year. The overall trend is therefore stable and clean, with no recurring advisories, no corrosion notes, and no brake, suspension or emissions concerns flagged by any examiner. The recorded mileage of 19,628 miles equates to roughly 3,900 miles per year, which is well below the UK average for a vehicle of this age. The annual tests have fallen consistently in early October each year with no gaps in the testing sequence, so there is no evidence of extended off-road periods. That said, low annual accumulation on a five-year-old car means components that age with time rather than distance, such as tyres, rubber bushes and seals, can deteriorate despite modest wear. The perishing noted on both rear tyres in 2024 is consistent with age-related rubber degradation rather than high-mileage wear, and it is the only mechanical signal in the entire record. For a prospective buyer, the priority check is the tyres themselves. Confirm that the rear pair flagged in 2024 has been replaced, and inspect all four corners for sidewall cracking, perishing between the tread blocks, and matching brands and tread depths across each axle. On the test drive, listen for any droning or vibration that could indicate uneven tyre wear, and check that the steering tracks straight without pull, which would suggest alignment issues that accelerate shoulder wear. Beyond the tyres, the record offers no specific component concerns to investigate, so the inspection should focus on verifying that low-mileage condition is genuine. Check the brake discs for surface rust lip and ensure the pedal feel is firm without judder, as lightly used vehicles can develop disc corrosion between services. Examine the underside and suspension components for any early corrosion, and confirm the service history supports the odometer reading. Subject to those checks, the MOT history shows a vehicle that has passed every test without defect-related difficulty, with the single tyre advisory already cleared at the most recent examination.
