2018 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Petrol · NK18 UDG

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward emerging mechanical wear after years of clean records. The most recent test in February 2026 at 18,685 miles identified pitting and scoring on the front brake discs along with slight play in the offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint. While these issues did not result in a failure, they indicate that components are beginning to show signs of age-related degradation despite the low mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,336 miles per year. This low usage is evident in the significant gap between 2023 and 2024, where the car covered only 684 miles in twelve months. However, the record reveals a clear consequence: the 2022 test at 12,245 miles flagged all four tyres for cracking or perishing. This is a classic symptom of a vehicle sitting for long periods, as the rubber compound degrades over time regardless of tread depth. A buyer should inspect the front suspension personally to check if the play in the anti-roll bar linkage has progressed or affected bushings and control arms. The pitting on the brake discs suggests the vehicle has sat stationary long enough for surface corrosion to occur, which can lead to pad wear or uneven braking. Given the history of perishing tyres, the current condition of the rubber set must be verified for sidewall cracking to ensure they have not reached the end of their structural life.
