2020 Peugeot 3008 Allure Puretech S/S 1.2L Petrol · LM20 FFT

This Peugeot 3008 presents an unbroken record of roadworthiness, with every DVSA examination returning a clean sheet free of both failures and advisories, and the most recent test on 27 June 2025 passed without a single defect recorded. The only curiosity in the history is a failed test logged on the same day as that pass, also with no defects recorded, which typically indicates an administrative duplicate or a test aborted and re-run rather than any genuine mechanical shortcoming. With no defect items attached to either entry, there is no evidence of an underlying fault that was rectified between attempts. Taken as a whole, the trend across 2023, 2024 and 2025 is one of consistent, stable roadworthiness with no recurring wear items flagged by any examiner. At six years old with 46,152 recorded miles, the car has averaged roughly 7,700 miles per annum, which sits comfortably within the typical range for a UK family SUV of this age. The annual tests have fallen at regular twelve-month intervals each summer with no gaps in the testing record, indicating continuous use rather than any period of lay-up. This steady, moderate accumulation is mechanically favourable: the PureTech petrol engine, suspension components and braking system will have seen regular use without the accelerated wear associated with high-mileage motorway work, and there is no suggestion of prolonged standing that might have affected seals, tyres or brake discs. Given the absence of any advisories across three consecutive tests, buyer checks should focus on verification rather than known weak points. On the test drive, listen for knocks or rattles from the front suspension over broken surfaces, confirm the steering tracks straight without pull under braking, and feel for any judder through the pedal that would suggest disc run-out, even though none of these items have been flagged. It is also worth confirming the mileage progression is corroborated by service invoices, since the MOT record alone shows only annual snapshots. The same-day fail-and-pass entry warrants a direct question to the seller: ask to see the VT30 refusal certificate or an explanation from the testing station, as a genuine failure would normally carry recorded defect items. If the paperwork confirms it was an administrative duplicate, the history can be taken at face value as exceptionally clean. Subject to that clarification and a satisfactory inspection, this 3008 shows one of the more reassuring MOT profiles a buyer is likely to encounter at this age and mileage.
