2019 Peugeot 3008 1.5L Diesel · SA19 UEE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on April 9, 2026, at 36,430 miles, but the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in oversight. The record reveals a failure just three days prior at 36,422 miles where the tester identified a fractured nearside rear coil spring and a fluctuating offside front service brake. While these issues have since been rectified, the sudden appearance of two mechanical faults suggests that components were not being proactively monitored before the annual inspection. The mileage pattern remains consistently low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,200 miles per year. Between March 2024 and April 2026, the car covered 11,508 miles, indicating infrequent long-distance use. However, the low mileage correlates with the defects noted in the February 2023 test at 17,415 miles, where both rear tyres showed signs of perishing. This pattern suggests the vehicle may sit stationary for extended periods, which leads to rubber degradation and brake corrosion despite low tread wear. A buyer must verify the quality of the recent repair work to ensure the fractured coil spring was replaced with a matching component and that the brake disc was not merely resurfaced but properly replaced. The fluctuating brake reading often indicates a thin disc or a sticking caliper, which warrants an inspection of the braking assembly. Given the history of perishing tyres, a thorough visual inspection of all sidewalls and a check of secondary suspension bushes is necessary to confirm that age-related decay has not compromised the structural integrity of the rubber components.
