2018 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · NU18 TYW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recurring pattern of poor tyre management. In the most recent test in February 2026 at 76,841 miles, the car passed despite both front tyres being worn to the legal limit and showing uneven edge wear, alongside an inoperative registration plate lamp. This result follows a clean test in 2025, but suggests that components are only addressed when they reach failure thresholds rather than through preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,600 miles per annum. Data shows a steady progression from 50,050 miles in early 2023 to 76,841 miles in early 2026, indicating regular use without significant periods of stagnation. However, the 2024 test at 59,594 enough noted that artwork covers and undertrays prevented a full inspection, which leaves a gap in the documented condition of the lower mechanical components for that specific period. A buyer must prioritize inspecting the suspension and wheel alignment due to the repeated reports of heavy edge wear on multiple tyres across the 2023 and 2026 tests. This consistent pattern often points to worn suspension bushes or incorrect tracking geometry which will continue to rapidly degrade new tyres. Additionally, a physical inspection of the undercarriage is necessary to check for any fluid leaks or corrosion that were not visible during the restricted 2024 examination.
