2018 Peugeot 3008 1.2L Petrol · LP60 POW

The most recent MOT test conducted in December 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. Looking at the broader history, the maintenance trend appears stable. While there was a notable failure in December 2023 involving significant wear to the front and rear brake discs and pads, these issues were addressed immediately, leading to a pass the following day. The subsequent two years of clean MOT certificates suggest that the vehicle has been maintained to a satisfactory standard since that period of corrective maintenance. With a recorded mileage of 55,232 miles over approximately eight years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 6,900 miles per year. This level of usage is considered typical for its age and suggests a balanced duty cycle. It avoids the common pitfalls of extremely high-mileage vehicles, such as premature drivetrain fatigue or extensive suspension wear, while also avoiding the risks associated with low-usage vehicles, such as seized calipers or perished rubber components due to prolonged standing. Given the previous major failures regarding the braking system, a prospective buyer should verify that the brake discs and pads were replaced with quality components. During a test drive, listen for any grinding or whistling sounds and feel for brake shudder or pulsation through the pedal, which could indicate warped discs or uneven pad deposition. It is also advisable to inspect the inner rims for excessive brake dust, which can sometimes signal a binding caliper, particularly on the rear axles. As the vehicle is now eight years old, attention should be paid to calendar-based degradation regardless of the moderate mileage. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for fine cracking or perishing, especially on the inner edges. Check the service history to ensure that engine oil, coolant, and brake fluids have been changed according to the manufacturer's time intervals rather than just mileage. Finally, a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and coil springs is recommended to ensure there is no structural corrosion or rubber splitting that may not yet have triggered an MOT advisory.
