2017 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · SA17 AFK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on 2025-06-27 at 65,019 miles, though the test revealed persistent issues with both front brake discs showing wear, pitting, and scoring—conditions that have been flagged across three consecutive tests. This indicates a worsening trend in brake disc condition, despite no serious structural weakening being recorded. The repeated failure on headlamp aim during the same test suggests ongoing alignment or mounting issues, which may point to misaligned or damaged headlamp housings, possibly due to prior impact or poor maintenance. While the car passed overall, the recurrence of these defects signals that proactive attention to braking systems and lighting is essential. Mileage has increased steadily from 37,671 miles in August 2022 to 65,019 miles by June 2025—a total of 27,348 miles over 2 years and 10 months, averaging approximately 9,700 miles per year. This represents a significant increase compared to the earlier average of around 7,224 miles annually between 2017 and 2022, indicating more intensive use in recent years. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests (12 months) and the subsequent 11-month interval to the 2025 test suggest consistent annual testing, but the accelerated mileage growth raises concerns about potential strain on suspension components, drivetrain elements, and brake wear rates. A buyer should conduct a thorough in-person inspection of the front brake system, focusing on the condition of both discs and calipers for signs of binding, uneven wear, or residual heat damage. The history of recurring brake disc scoring implies inadequate servicing or driving habits that promote excessive heat buildup. Additionally, the persistent headlamp aim issue demands examination of the headlamp mounting brackets, alignment mechanisms, and any visible damage to the housing. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and steering linkages should also be checked, particularly given the increased mileage load. No structural corrosion or frame defects were reported, but a visual check of underbody panels, wheel arches, and floor pans remains advisable to rule out hidden rust or impact damage.
