2018 Peugeot 3008 1.2L Petrol · S9 CBJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward developing mechanical wear and reactive repairs. The most recent test in September 2025 at 60,507 miles resulted in a pass following a failure just two days prior. This failure highlighted multiple critical issues including a front tyre reaching the cords, a rear nail, and worn suspension arm bushes. While the car passed the retest, the presence of these suspension and tyre faults indicates that the vehicle is beginning to require attention beyond basic consumable replacements. At 60,507 miles over eight years, the Peugeot has averaged approximately 7,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a family SUV of this age. There is a notable gap in the records between December 2021 and February 2023, where the vehicle covered only 5,468 miles. However, the jump of 6,595 miles between February 2024 and September 2025 shows more consistent recent usage. The relatively low annual mileage suggests the drivetrain remains understressed but does not prevent the degradation of rubber-based components. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension assembly, as the offside front arm bushes were already flagged as worn at 60,005 miles. These components often lead to steering play and uneven tyre wear if not replaced promptly. The history also shows a recurring pattern of tyre issues, with edge wear noted in 2023 and structural damage in 2025, suggesting the previous owner may have neglected tyre maintenance until a failure occurred. Additionally, the windscreen has carried noted damage since at least 2024, which should be checked for cracks that could eventually necessitate a structural failure of the glass.
