2020 Peugeot 3008 1.2L Petrol · MM69 XJX

A significant failure in February 2025 regarding critical consumable wear defines the recent history of this vehicle, though it has since returned to a clean record with two defect-free passes in February and March 2026. The 2025 failure was notable for dangerous rear tyre tread depth and significantly worn rear brake discs, alongside advisories for front tyre wear and suspension components. While the most recent tests show no remaining defects, the recurrence of tyre-related advisories since 2023 indicates a pattern of wear that requires close attention. The recorded mileage of 53,224 miles represents an average annual accumulation of approximately 8,871 miles, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. This usage pattern suggests a consistent level of wear across the drivetrain and chassis components, without the extremes associated with very low-mileage standing or high-intensity long-distance use. Inspection should focus heavily on the front suspension and steering geometry. The February 2025 advisories specifically flagged worn front suspension arm pins or bushes. During a test drive, listen for knocks, clunks, or creaks when traversing speed bumps or uneven road surfaces. Additionally, given the repeated advisories for tyres worn on the edges, the current tread depth should be measured across the full width of the tyre to ensure there is no ongoing misalignment or incorrect camber. The braking system requires verification following the major failure for rear brake disc wear in 2025. While the subsequent tests are clean, a prospective buyer should feel for any pedal judder or vibrations during braking, which can indicate disc warping or uneven surface wear. Ensure the vehicle maintains a straight line under braking and that there is no excessive noise from the rear calipers or discs during deceleration.
