2020 Peugeot 3008 GT Line Premium P-Tech SS 1.2L Petrol · RO20 MTK

The vehicle presents as fundamentally roadworthy following its most recent MOT on 17 February 2026 at 49,610 miles, yet the maintenance trend is one of gradual deterioration rather than consistent preventative care. That 2026 test passed but flagged four advisories, including a severely deteriorated nearside front outer constant velocity boot and three tyre issues covering perishing and edge wear. This marks a notable shift from the clean passes recorded in March 2023 and March 2024. The trajectory suggests the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary or has seen recent neglect, allowing rubber components to degrade and consumable wear to accumulate unchecked. The mileage profile is broadly typical for a 2020-registered vehicle, averaging roughly 8,268 miles per year over six years. The 2024 and 2023 tests show a steady accumulation from 29,352 to 34,808 miles, but the jump to 41,078 miles by February 2025 and then to 49,610 by February 2026 indicates a significant increase in annual use during the most recent two years. That acceleration in mileage, combined with the fresh advisories, points to a period of heavier use without commensurate servicing attention. Buyers should inspect the front drivetrain carefully. A severely deteriorated constant velocity boot on the nearside front outer joint risks joint contamination and catastrophic driveshaft failure if left unrepaired. The tyre advisories across both nearside and rear axles suggest the vehicle may have been standing for extended periods, causing sidewall perishing and uneven wear patterns. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers deserve close scrutiny given the age and the likelihood of prolonged static storage accelerating rubber decay. The braking system also warrants attention. The February 2025 failure for rear brake pads below 1.5 mm and pitted rear discs, followed by a pass with a disc wear advisory just twelve days later, indicates the discs were borderline and may have been replaced or refinished hastily. A thorough inspection of disc thickness, caliper condition, and pad wear across all corners is advisable. The electronic stability control fault lamp flagged in 2025 should be verified as fully resolved through diagnostic scan rather than assumed cleared.
