2022 Peugeot 3008 GT S/S Phev Auto 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · ML22 VPM

The most recent MOT test conducted on 8 May 2026 resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a similarly clean pass in March 2025, indicating a stable and consistent maintenance trend. The absence of any recorded advisories suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that prevents the accumulation of minor wear-and-tear issues, such as minor fluid leaks, worn suspension components, or excessive brake pad thickness, which are typically flagged in earlier stages of degradation. The recorded mileage of 33,501 miles over approximately four years equates to an annual average of roughly 8,375 miles. This represents a very typical usage pattern for a modern vehicle of this class, suggesting it has been used regularly without being subjected to excessive heavy-duty mileage. For a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle, this level of usage is mechanically advantageous as it implies the internal combustion engine and the hybrid battery system have likely been cycled frequently enough to prevent the stagnation of fluids or the deep discharge of the high-voltage battery, both of which are common risks with vehicles that sit idle for extended periods. As the MOT history is clean, your physical inspection should focus on age-related items and preventative maintenance. Examine the tyres thoroughly for any signs of sidewall perishing or cracking, which can occur due to age and UV exposure even if the tread depth remains high. You should also inspect the brake discs for any significant corrosion or pitting, particularly if the vehicle has been used for short, low-speed journeys. During the test drive, listen for any subtle knocking or clunking from the suspension, which could indicate the beginning of wear in the bushes or coil springs, and check for any brake shudder or pulling to the side that might suggest binding calipers or uneven disc wear. Finally, ensure that the service history is comprehensive and follows the manufacturer's time-based intervals rather than just mileage-based ones. Because fluids like brake fluid and engine coolant are subject to chemical degradation over time, it is vital to confirm they have been replaced according to the schedule. Given the hybrid nature of the vehicle, verify the health of the 12V auxiliary battery and ensure the transition between electric and petrol power is seamless. Checking for any uneven tyre wear will also help confirm that the wheel alignment and suspension geometry remain within factory specifications.
