2022 Peugeot 3008 GT Prem P-Tech S/S A 1.2L Petrol · NV22 SOJ

The most recent DVSA MOT test for this 2022 Peugeot 3008 GT Premium Plug-in Hybrid was conducted on 21 July 2026, at which point the vehicle passed with two advisories relating to the front and rear brake discs, both noted as worn, pitted or scored but not seriously weakened. Reviewing the prior test on 28 July 2025, an identical pair of brake disc advisories were issued, alongside additional advisories concerning both front tyres being worn close to the legal limit and exhibiting edge wear. The recurrence of brake disc surface deterioration across two consecutive tests suggests a worsening trend in braking component condition rather than a stable pattern. While the vehicle continues to meet the minimum roadworthiness standard, the persistent disc pitting is indicative of ongoing wear that will likely progress toward more significant corrosion, potentially requiring disc replacement within the next service interval. The recorded mileage of 24,066 miles over an approximate four-year ownership period equates to an annual average of around 6,016 miles, which is broadly typical for a vehicle of this age and is consistent with private or mixed-use driving patterns. There is no evidence of excessive high-mileage accumulation that would suggest accelerated wear of major drivetrain components, nor does the record indicate long periods of standing that could compromise underbody integrity, battery condition, or exacerbate corrosion. For a plug-in hybrid powertrain of this vintage, regular usage of the petrol engine is beneficial in preventing stale fuel, oil glazing, and excessive moisture accumulation in the combustion and lubrication systems, making the mileage pattern mechanically favourable. However, attention should still be given to time-based degradation of components irrespective of the mileage covered. For a prospective buyer, the recurring brake disc advisories warrant particular scrutiny. Pitting and corrosion on the friction surfaces typically arise from low usage combined with frequent light braking, common in urban and stop-start driving environments. On a test drive, listen for any brake shudder or vibration through the steering wheel under firm application, and feel for any pulsation through the brake pedal which may indicate uneven disc wear. A more thorough inspection should involve jacking the vehicle to visually assess the disc surfaces for lipping, deep scoring, or visible corrosion ridges, and to confirm the calipers are sliding freely without binding. The front tyres also showed edge wear at the previous test, suggesting possible wheel alignment geometry deviation or uneven camber, so a current inspection of the tyres should include a check for consistent shoulder wear across all four corners and confirmation of tracking within manufacturer tolerances. Given the advisories, budgeting for replacement brake discs and pads within the next 12 months would be a prudent consideration. Beyond the recorded advisories, general age-appropriate checks remain advisable. The 12-volt battery, particularly in a plug-in hybrid where the auxiliary battery supports extensive electronic systems, should be load-tested to confirm retained capacity, as modern vehicles are sensitive to voltage drop. All fluid services, including brake fluid (typically renewed every two years regardless of mileage due to hygroscopic moisture absorption), engine oil, coolant, and transmission fluid, should be verified against the service schedule stamped in the book, with attention to calendar-based intervals rather than purely odometer-based ones. Tyres should be examined closely for sidewall cracking, perishing, or ozone degradation, as even lightly used tyres deteriorate with age and a 2022 manufacture date may render the originals due for replacement on age grounds alone. Finally, the underbody and suspension components, including coil springs, bushes, and the rear torsion beam or multi-link geometry as fitted to this model, should be inspected for any corrosion, fluid weeping from dampers, or perished gaiters, ensuring the structural and dynamic integrity expected of a GT Premium specification is preserved.
