2020 Peugeot 3008 1.2L Petrol · LS20 XTX

The most recent MOT inspection conducted in January 2026 resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. Looking at the broader maintenance history, the vehicle demonstrates a stable and positive trend. While an advisory was noted in December 2022 regarding tyre wear on the offside front and nearside rear, the subsequent two years of testing have shown no recurring issues or structural failures. This indicates that the previous maintenance requirements were addressed and that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets current DVSA safety requirements. With a recorded mileage of 50,268 miles at six years of age, the vehicle has covered approximately 8,378 miles per year. This represents typical, moderate usage for a modern crossover and suggests a balanced mechanical life. The mileage is high enough to ensure that components like the engine, gearbox, and exhaust system have been regularly exercised, reducing the risk of internal corrosion or seal degradation associated with long periods of inactivity, yet low enough to avoid excessive wear on consumables such as suspension bushes, brake discs, and drivetrain components. During your physical inspection and test drive, you should pay close attention to the tyre condition. Although the previous MOT advisories for edge wear have been cleared, you should inspect the current tyres for any signs of uneven tread wear or misalignment, which could indicate worn suspension components or incorrect tracking. Check the tyre sidewalls for any signs of perishing or cracking, which can occur due to age even if the tread depth remains sufficient. Additionally, inspect the brake discs for excessive surface corrosion or pitting, particularly if the vehicle has been parked for extended periods, and listen for any binding or squealing during low-speed manoeuvres. Given the vehicle's age, it is also prudent to verify the service history for time-sensitive maintenance rather than just mileage-based intervals. Check for evidence of brake fluid and coolant changes, as these fluids degrade over time regardless of distance driven. You should also assess the health of the 12V battery, as six-year-old batteries can begin to show signs of capacity loss. Finally, inspect the engine bay for any signs of fluid leaks from gaskets or hoses and ensure the service book contains consistent stamps to confirm that the manufacturer's scheduled maintenance has been adhered to throughout its ownership.
