2022 Peugeot 3008 Allure Prem S/S Phev A 1.6L Hybrid electric · LS22 EYK

The most recent DVSA MOT, carried out on 9 March 2026, was passed with no recorded defects, following an identical clean result on the 13 March 2025 test. With two consecutive years of fault‑free examinations, the maintenance trend appears stable; there is no evidence of emerging failures or deteriorating components in the official record. At four years old the 3008 has logged 72 638 miles, equating to roughly 18 000 miles per annum. This annual usage is well above the typical UK average for a family SUV and suggests a relatively high level of wear on consumables. The mileage does not indicate any prolonged periods of inactivity, so the wear is likely to be progressive rather than the result of long‑term standing, which can hide corrosion or fluid degradation. Consequently, components such as the brake discs, pads, suspension bushes and the hybrid battery will have experienced a significant portion of their service life. For a buyer, the first visual checks should focus on the tyres: verify tread depth is at least 3 mm across the width, inspect the sidewalls for cracking, bulging or dry‑rot, and note the date code on the sidewall to ensure the tyres are not older than six years regardless of tread. Examine the 12 V auxiliary battery and, where possible, obtain a state‑of‑charge reading for the high‑voltage hybrid pack; a healthy hybrid system will show no warning lights on the instrument cluster and will not emit any unusual coolant odors. Inspect all fluid reservoirs – engine oil, coolant, brake fluid and the hybrid coolant – for correct levels, clarity and any signs of leakage, remembering that many fluids degrade with time even if mileage is moderate. During a test drive listen for any clunking or squeaking from the front and rear suspension, which could indicate worn bushings, deteriorated coil‑spring mounts or loose anti‑roll bar links. Feel the steering for excessive play or a vague vibration that might point to wheel‑bearing wear. Apply the brakes firmly and note any pulsation, shudder or a high‑pitched squeal that would suggest thinning discs or glazed pads. Finally, confirm that the service book contains stamps for the recommended 12‑month or 15 000‑mile intervals, and check that any manufacturer recall relevant to the PHEV powertrain has been completed. These checks will give a realistic picture of the vehicle’s mechanical condition beyond the clean MOT history.
