2017 Peugeot 3008 1.2L Petrol · PJ17 STY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a worsening condition regarding braking components and suspension hardware. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 69,233 miles passed, it flagged rear brake discs as worn and pitted. This follows a pattern established in February 2025 at 62,946 miles, where both front and rear discs were noted for surface degradation. The persistence of these issues suggests that the previous owner is reacting to defects rather than performing preventative maintenance on the braking system. The mileage profile is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. There is a notable gap of over 6,000 miles between the February 2025 and February 2026 tests, which indicates steady usage patterns rather than long periods of stationary storage. However, the failure in February 2024 at 56,111 miles due to a fractured offside rear coil spring highlights that despite the low annual mileage, the vehicle has been subjected to mechanical stress or heavy loading that led to component fatigue. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, specifically checking the offside front ball joint which was flagged as having play in 2025, as there is no evidence of this part being replaced since. The braking system also requires close attention; the recurring pitting and scoring on the discs across the last three tests indicate they are nearing the end of their effective life. Additionally, the 2023 advisory regarding uneven tyre wear on the nearside rear suggests potential alignment issues that should be verified against the current state of all tyres to ensure no premature wear continues.
