2018 Peugeot 3008 1.2L Petrol · NJ68 AMU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a remarkably clean maintenance history. The most recent test on 25 July 2025 at 38,358 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, despite an initial failure on the same day. This immediate rectification suggests a minor, easily corrected fault that was addressed before the retest rather than a systemic mechanical failure. Since the 2022 inspection, the car has passed every annual test without advisories, indicating a lack of developing structural corrosion or significant mechanical wear. The mileage pattern is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,795 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage over the years, moving from 23,462 miles in November 2022 to 35,122 miles in November 2024. The gap of 3,236 miles between the November 2024 and July 2025 tests reflects a period of relatively short-distance driving. This low annual mileage generally reduces strain on the drivetrain and heavy suspension components, though it can occasionally lead to age-related issues such as brake caliper seizing or the degradation of rubber-based bushings due to infrequent use. Because the MOT record shows no recurring advisories, a physical inspection should focus on components typically affected by low-mileage storage. You should check the brake discs for pitting or corrosion, which often occurs when a vehicle sits stationary for long periods. It is also prudent to inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking or flat spotting, as the rubber may outlast the tread depth in these scenarios. Given the clean history, the vehicle appears to have been well-maintained, but a check of the fluid condition and the state of the timing belt remains necessary to ensure the low mileage has not resulted in neglected service intervals.
