2023 Peugeot 3008 GT S/S Phev Auto 1.6L Hybrid electric · LL23 VEM

The most recent DVSA MOT, carried out on 21 May 2026, was passed with no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the vehicle met all statutory safety and emissions requirements at that time. With only a single MOT entry available, there is no trend of recurring faults to suggest a deteriorating condition; the clean result points to a stable maintenance status, assuming the owner has kept to the manufacturer’s service intervals. At three years old the recorded 30,739 miles equates to roughly 10,200 miles per annum, which sits squarely within the normal usage envelope for a family SUV of this class. The mileage progression does not reveal any abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity that might have encouraged component corrosion or fluid degradation, and the average annual distance suggests a balanced wear pattern on tyres, brakes and suspension elements. For a prospective buyer the primary physical checks should focus on age‑related wear rather than mileage‑driven failure. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for any signs of cracking, perishing or dry rot, and verify that tread depth is even across the set, as ageing rubber can lose pliability even on relatively low‑kilometre tyres. Examine the 12‑volt auxiliary battery and, where possible, obtain a state‑of‑charge reading for the high‑voltage hybrid pack; both should be free of swelling or electrolyte loss, and the hybrid battery’s health can be confirmed via a dealer diagnostic scan. Assess the brake discs for surface rust, scoring or glazing, and ensure the pads have sufficient material; binding calipers are more likely after extended stationary periods, so listen for any shudder or uneven pull when applying the brakes. Check the suspension for any play in the control arm bushes, worn coil springs or deteriorated anti‑roll bar links, and listen for clunks over bumps, which can indicate fatigue in those components. Finally, confirm that the service book contains stamps for oil, coolant, brake fluid and hybrid system inspections at the recommended intervals, as many fluids are time‑sensitive irrespective of mileage. Verify that the engine oil has been changed within the last 10‑12 months and that the coolant and brake fluid have been flushed at least every two years, as ageing fluids can lose their protective properties. Look for any signs of oil or coolant leaks around the engine bay and under the vehicle, and ensure that all software updates for the PHEV’s energy management system have been applied, as these can affect both performance and emissions compliance. A thorough visual inspection combined with a short test drive that includes steady cruising, gentle acceleration and a few moderate braking events should reveal any latent issues before purchase.
