2018 Peugeot 3008 1.5L Diesel · S19 SBM

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recurring pattern of neglect regarding basic consumable upkeep. The most recent test in October 2025 at 57,901 miles passed with an advisory for a nearside rear tyre worn to the legal limit and unevenly. This continues a trend seen in 2024, where the offside rear tyre was also flagged for being cracked and worn close to the limit. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. There is a significant gap in data between September 2022 at 18,024 miles and October 2024 at 34,361 miles, representing roughly 16,000 miles over two years. However, the vehicle saw a sharp increase of over 23,000 miles in the final year of records, which explains the rapid perishing and cracking issues noted in the 2023 MOT failure. A buyer must inspect the suspension components closely, as the 2024 test identified a worn offside front lower anti-roll bar linkage ball joint with play. While this was not flagged in the subsequent test, such rubber-bound components often fail in pairs. Furthermore, the presence of undertrays across multiple tests has prevented a full visual inspection of the chassis, meaning a physical check for structural corrosion or damage to the mounting points is essential. The recurring history of tyre cracking and perishing suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for long periods or suffered from neglect. A prospective buyer should verify the age and condition of all four tyres and check for alignment issues, as the repeated advisories regarding uneven wear on edges indicate potential incorrect geometry or worn suspension bushings.
