2018 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Petrol · LS18 TXK

This Peugeot 3008 demonstrates a consistently stable roadworthiness record, with every MOT test since 2022 passing without defects or advisories. The most recent inspection on 11 June 2025—just over a year ago—confirmed the vehicle met all DVSA standards at 13,952 miles, indicating no immediate mechanical or structural concerns at that time. The absence of recurring faults across four consecutive tests suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, though the lack of advisories also means no proactive repairs were documented. The recorded mileage of 13,952 miles over eight years—approximately 1,744 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. The intervals between tests show a steady pattern: roughly 1,400 miles between each MOT, with no sudden spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. While low mileage generally reduces wear on high-stress components like suspension bushes, brake calipers, and drivetrain seals, it also raises questions about the vehicle’s storage conditions. Extended periods of disuse can accelerate corrosion in underbody panels, wheel arches, and exhaust systems, even at low mileages. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of components prone to corrosion or neglect in low-mileage vehicles. Focus on the underbody for signs of rust in the sills, wheel arches, and exhaust mounting points—particularly around the rear subframe, where moisture accumulation is common. The suspension should be checked for perished bushes, especially at the rear, as these can degrade silently even with minimal use. Brake discs and calipers should be examined for uneven wear or binding, though the absence of past advisories suggests no immediate failure risk. Finally, verify the integrity of the battery and electrical connections, as prolonged storage can lead to corrosion in terminals or a weakened alternator. No major red flags emerge from the MOT data, but these areas warrant close attention.
