2020 Peugeot 3008 GT Puretech S/S Auto 1.2L Petrol · PF70 FZS

The most recent MOT test passed on 06 March 2026, though the results indicate a transition from tyre-related safety failures toward mechanical wear on the braking system. While the vehicle is currently roadworthy, the maintenance trend shows a history of neglected consumables, specifically regarding tyres in 2024 and 2025, and now progressing to brake component degradation. The presence of advisories for both front brake pads and discs suggests that while the vehicle passed, it is entering a phase where significant wear-and-tear maintenance will be required shortly to maintain safety and performance. With a recorded mileage of 46,536 miles over approximately six years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 7,756 miles per year. This usage pattern is considered typical for a modern petrol-engine vehicle and suggests a balanced mix of urban and longer-distance driving. This moderate mileage profile is generally positive, as it avoids the extreme wear associated with high-mileage commercial use while also avoiding the potential for component seizure or fluid degradation often seen in vehicles that spend long periods stationary. A primary concern for a prospective buyer is the impending requirement for front brake maintenance. The advisories for thin inner pads and pitted or scored discs mean you should budget for a full front brake service including new pads and discs. During your test drive, pay close attention to the braking feel; listen for any metallic grinding or squealing sounds and feel for any shudder or vibration through the brake pedal when slowing from higher speeds, as these are classic symptoms of the scored discs mentioned. Furthermore, ensure the tyre pressure monitoring system has been fully repaired following its previous failure, as a persistent warning light could indicate a faulty sensor or a slow leak. Given the previous history of tyre defects, including a dangerous tread depth failure and a sidewall cut, you must perform a meticulous inspection of all tyres. Look for uneven wear on the edges of the tread, which might suggest worn suspension bushes or incorrect wheel alignment, and check the sidewalls for any signs of perishing or structural damage. Although the mileage is moderate, verify the service book for consistent oil changes, as the PureTech engine requires strict adherence to lubrication schedules. Finally, confirm that the automatic transmission engages smoothly without any hesitation or slipping to ensure the drivetrain remains robust.
