2017 Peugeot 3008 1.2L Petrol · PL17 DPK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful test in February 2026 at 73,183 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. The car failed the test earlier that month due to an excessively worn offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint and ineffective windscreen wipers. While these issues were rectified to secure the pass, they indicate that mechanical components are only addressed once they reach a legal failure threshold. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical low-use profile, averaging approximately 8,100 miles per annum. The record shows a steady accumulation of 13,361 miles between February 2023 and February 2024, and another 14,272 miles between February 2024 and February 2026. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has been used consistently rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which generally benefits the health of rubber components and engine seals, though it leads to the standard wear seen in the history. A physical inspection should focus on the front suspension, as the anti-roll bar linkage failure in 2026 suggests potential wider wear in the bushings and control arms. The buyer must also verify the rear braking system. The 2024 test flagged thin rear pads and pitted discs at 44,243 miles, and there is no recorded evidence in the history to confirm these were replaced before the subsequent tests. Given the recent wiper failure, checking the condition of the wiper arms and blades for cracking is also necessary to ensure visibility remains optimal in adverse weather.
