2018 Peugeot 3008 1.5L Diesel · MW18 OHN

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive prevention. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 96,616 miles identified the front brake discs as worn and pitted, this follows a pattern of component wear being addressed only upon inspection. The trend is stable in terms of passing the test, but the recurring nature of mechanical wear items suggests that the owner typically only services parts once they reach the end of their functional life. At 96,616 miles over eight years, this Peugeot has averaged approximately 12,000 miles per year, which is slightly above the UK national average for a passenger car. The data shows a significant spike in usage between June 2023 at 67,851 miles and the most recent test, where the vehicle covered nearly 30,000 miles in fourteen months. This high-intensity period puts accelerated strain on the drivetrain and suspension components, which aligns with the frequent flags for brake pads and exhaust hardware seen in the record. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension, as the anti-roll bar linkage ball joints were flagged with play in both 2022 and 2023. Although these were not mentioned in the later tests, the previous failure suggests they are prone to premature wear. The braking system also requires scrutiny; the record shows pitted discs on the rear in 2022 and the front in 2025, alongside thin pads noted in early 2023. Additionally, the exhaust system has a history of loose clamps and defective mounts dating back 2023 and 2024, necessitating a physical check to ensure the entire assembly is securely fastened and free from excessive corrosion.
