2022 Peugeot 3008 GT Premium S/S Phev Auto 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · RF71 KVB

The vehicle was last presented for MOT on 11 February 2026, achieving an initial failed outcome due to a nearside front tyre with a cut penetrating to the ply or cords and exhibiting balding on both edges, but it was subsequently re-presented the same day under PRS cover and passed with a single advisory for the offside front tyre wearing close to the legal limit and lightly on both edges. Evaluating the maintenance trend, this 2022 Peugeot 3008 GT Premium PHEV presents a relatively stable but tyre-focussed pattern. The repeated advisory for offside front tyre edge wear across the 2025 and 2026 tests suggests a persistent wear characteristic on that corner rather than a one-off finding, which warrants closer attention to wheel geometry, suspension geometry, or even brake drag on that side. The single failure for tyre condition is consistent with operational wear, and the ability to remedy it on the same day indicates the vehicle was otherwise in sound mechanical condition at the time of test. Annual mileage is recorded at approximately 9,978 miles per year over a four-year period, which is broadly typical for a modern family SUV and PHEV of this class. There is no evidence in the available history of prolonged standing periods or unusually rapid accumulation, both of which carry their own mechanical risks. For a plug-in hybrid, this mileage profile suggests regular but not exhaustive use, meaning the high-voltage battery, 12V auxiliary battery, and combustion engine components are likely to have been exercised consistently. The absence of mileage-related advisories on suspension, brakes, or drivetrain items across the two recorded tests is reassuring, indicating that wear-linked components have not yet presented concern to the examining tester. Given the recurring advisory on the offside front tyre wearing on both edges, a prospective buyer should conduct a physical inspection of all four tyres, paying particular attention to the offside front for uneven shoulder wear, and to the nearside front for any residual damage or age-related sidewall cracking. This dual-edge wear pattern is often indicative of incorrect camber or tracking, a worn or sagging coil spring, a perished suspension bush, or a binding brake caliper that is holding the brake pad lightly in contact with the disc. During a test drive, listen for suspension clunks or knocks over speed humps and uneven road surfaces, and feel for any pulling to one side under braking or steering wander, all of which would point to geometry or component wear requiring attention before purchase. A thorough inspection of the front brake discs for corrosion ridges, pad material thickness, and free movement of the caliper slides is also strongly advised, given the PHEV’s regenerative braking system which can sometimes lead to rear brake corrosion from underuse. Beyond the recorded advisories, the buyer should satisfy themselves on several age-appropriate service items that do not necessarily appear in MOT records. The 12V auxiliary battery on a PHEV of this age can degrade rapidly and is responsible for powering control modules, so a load test is worthwhile. Brake fluid is hygroscopic and typically requires renewal every two years regardless of mileage, and the coolant, transmission fluid, and if applicable, the PHEV system coolant and hybrid battery health report should be verified through a main dealer or specialist diagnostic read. Check the charging cable and port for damage, ensure the high-voltage system shows no warning messages, and confirm that the service book or digital service record is fully stamped at the correct intervals for a Peugeot PHEV, typically annually or every 20,000 miles. Finally, inspect the underside, particularly suspension arms, anti-roll bar drop links, and the exhaust mounting, for any corrosion commensurate with a four-year-old vehicle, and ensure the regenerative braking system is functioning correctly by confirming the vehicle transitions smoothly between electric and hybrid drive modes on the test drive.
