2018 Peugeot 3008 1.2L Petrol · SC67 DBX

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile characterized by reactive maintenance rather than proactive preventative care. While it passed its most recent test in July 2025 at 54,059 miles, this followed just one day after a significant failure. The failure record identified excessive play in both front track rod ends and fractured rear coil springs, alongside with a defective exhaust mounting. This pattern suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they trigger an MOT failure, rather than replacing wear components between intervals. At 54,059 miles over eight years, the Peugeot has averaged approximately 6,757 miles per year, which aligns well with typical national averages for a family SUV. The mileage data shows consistent usage, with roughly 9,000 miles covered between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 9,900 miles between July 2024 and July 2025. However, the low mileage does not exempt the vehicle from age-related degradation, as evidenced by the split CV boot at 44,155 miles where rubber components likely perished over time. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and drivetrain to ensure the repairs to the track rod ends and CV boot were executed to standard. Check for signs of grease leakage from the offside front drive shaft and verify that the rear coil springs are seated correctly without further corrosion. The previous report of a nearside rear tyre worn to the edge at 2mm indicates potential alignment issues or suspension neglect; therefore, the current tyre set should be checked for uneven tread patterns or lateral wear. Finally, ensure the exhaust system is securely mounted to prevent vibration-related damage to the hangers.
