2020 Peugeot 3008 GT S/S Phev Auto 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · LR70 FLC

The 2020 Peugeot 3008 PHEV’s most recent MOT test on 2025-05-20—just over a year ago at 59,706 miles—confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded. The absence of advisories or repeated failures across all four tests suggests the vehicle has not experienced persistent mechanical issues. However, the single failure in the preceding cycle (2025-05-16 at 59,704 miles) with no recorded defects is unusual and warrants scrutiny, as it implies either a minor oversight in the test or a brief, unresolved condition that did not recur. The pattern remains stable, with no evidence of worsening wear or recurring faults beyond standard consumables. Mileage progression shows consistent usage, averaging roughly 9,950 miles annually—a typical rate for a vehicle of this age. The gap between tests is standard, with the most recent cycle spanning 11 months (August 2024 to May 2025) and the previous 12 months (September 2023 to August 2024). There are no red flags in the accumulation rate, though the sudden 8,942-mile jump between the 2023 and 2024 tests (from 35,926 to 50,763 miles) suggests either a period of heavier use or a potential underrecording of earlier mileage. No extended periods of inactivity are evident, which would typically accelerate wear on fluids, seals, or suspension components. Given the lack of recorded defects, a buyer’s primary focus should be on high-wear areas common to this mileage and age range. The hybrid drivetrain—particularly the high-voltage battery and associated cooling system—demands verification of fluid levels, corrosion-free connections, and no visible swelling or leaks in the battery housing. The suspension should be inspected for worn coil springs, degraded bushes, or binding calipers, as these often develop silently over 50,000 miles. Brake discs and pads, while not flagged in tests, may require assessment for uneven wear or glazing, especially if the vehicle has experienced rapid mileage accumulation. Finally, the underbody should be checked for corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and exhaust mounts, as hybrid vehicles often suffer from fluid leaks that accelerate rust. The absence of advisories does not preclude these areas from requiring attention.
