2022 Peugeot 3008 GT Line Puretech S/S 1.2L Petrol · LC72 BCZ

The vehicle currently holds a clean MOT certificate issued on 17 April 2026, indicating that the most recent inspection found no defects or advisories. While the history shows a significant failure event in September 2025 involving critical brake and tyre deficiencies, the subsequent pass suggests these issues were rectified promptly. The overall maintenance trend appears stable following that intervention, as the vehicle has successfully navigated its most recent statutory test without further recorded concerns. This indicates that the previous owner addressed the urgent safety items, bringing the vehicle back to a compliant roadworthy standard. With a recorded mileage of 26,410 miles over four years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 6,600 miles per annum, which is well within the expected range for a modern family SUV. This usage profile suggests a balanced mix of driving conditions rather than excessive stop-start city traffic or high-speed motorway commuting. From a mechanical perspective, this mileage is relatively low for the drivetrain, meaning the engine and transmission components should still be in their prime. However, at this age and mileage, you should ensure that the service history confirms adherence to time-based maintenance schedules, particularly regarding oil changes, as the PureTech engine requires strict adherence to lubrication intervals to maintain the integrity of the timing belt system. Given the history of worn brake pads and tyres in late 2025, your primary inspection should focus on the current condition of these consumables. During your test drive, listen carefully for any grinding or squealing noises under braking, which could indicate that the replacement pads are nearing the end of their service life or that the brake discs have developed surface corrosion from periods of inactivity. Check the inner and outer edges of all four tyres for even tread wear; uneven wear patterns can be a tell-tale sign of suspension misalignment or worn bushes, which may not always be flagged during a standard MOT but can impact handling and fuel efficiency. Finally, because the vehicle has had periods where it may have been standing, perform a thorough visual inspection of the brake discs for signs of pitting or heavy rust, as these can cause brake shudder under heavy deceleration. Verify the condition of the 12V battery, as modern vehicles with start-stop technology are sensitive to voltage drops which can trigger spurious electronic warnings. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for any signs of perishing or cracking, which often occurs due to age rather than mileage. Ensure that the service book is fully stamped and that the brake fluid has been changed according to the manufacturer’s schedule, as moisture contamination in the hydraulic system is a common oversight that can lead to internal corrosion of the braking components over time.
