2021 Peugeot 3008 Allure Prem P-Tech S/S A 1.2L Petrol · MH21 NFZ

The Peugeot 3008 presents a mixed but largely stable roadworthiness profile in its most recent MOT, with only minor advisories recorded in December 2025 at 39,519 miles. The tester flagged near-limit tyre tread depths (2.5mm and 3.0mm on the front tyres) and noted that the rear brake pads were approaching replacement at approximately 4,000 miles of remaining life. These are the only concerns in the latest test, suggesting no major mechanical deterioration or structural issues. The absence of failures in the two preceding MOTs—July 2024 and December 2024—indicates that any previous wear has either been addressed or is progressing slowly. However, the recurring tyre advisories, particularly the edge wear, imply uneven loading or alignment issues that should be verified before purchase. Mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging around 7,900 miles per year over its five-year history. The gap between the July 2024 (25,235 miles) and December 2024 (28,243 miles) tests suggests a roughly 3,000-mile period without inspection, which is not unusual but could mask deferred maintenance. The most recent MOT, just seven months ago, confirms the car has been driven modestly since then, with no red flags in the interim. The clean history in 2024 contrasts with the 2025 advisories, hinting that either the tyres were recently fitted or the vehicle’s alignment has degraded slightly. For a prospective buyer, the primary focus should be the tyre condition and brake system. The edge wear on the front tyres demands closer inspection—check for uneven tread patterns, which could signal suspension misalignment or worn steering components. The rear brake pads, while not yet failed, should be tested for thickness and condition, as the 4,000-mile advisory suggests they may require near-term replacement. Beyond these, verify the suspension for any signs of bush or spring wear, as the edge wear could indicate underlying steering or alignment issues. Structural integrity appears sound given the lack of corrosion or major advisories, but a thorough undercarriage check for rust or damage is prudent given the vehicle’s age and mileage.
