2020 Peugeot 3008 1.5L Diesel · SG69 CSV

The Peugeot 3008 presents a clean MOT history over its recent testing cycle, with the most recent February 2026 test at 44,685 miles passing without any defects. This follows a brief but inconsequential hiccup in February 2025, where the vehicle failed on the first attempt at 30,136 miles before passing immediately afterward at 30,139 miles—an anomaly with no recorded issues. The absence of advisories or recurring defects across the past three tests suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids major mechanical or structural concerns. The trend is stable, with no signs of worsening wear or neglect, though the lack of advisories also means there’s no clear evidence of proactive maintenance either. The mileage pattern reveals a vehicle that has been used lightly, averaging around 7,448 miles per year—a figure well below the UK average for its age. The gap between the February 2024 test (16,280 miles) and the February 2025 test (30,136 miles) indicates a period of higher activity, though even then, the annual mileage remains modest. The most recent 14,546 miles covered between February 2025 and February 2026 suggest recent use has been steady but not excessive. There’s no indication of rapid mileage accumulation or prolonged inactivity, which could have implications for component wear or fluid degradation. Given the absence of defects or advisories in the MOT record, a buyer should still prioritise a thorough inspection of key wear points that aren’t covered by the test. The suspension—particularly the coil springs, anti-roll bars, and bushings—should be checked for signs of fatigue or corrosion, especially if the vehicle has spent time in damp conditions. While the MOT history shows no brake-related failures, the rear calipers and discs warrant close examination for binding or uneven wear, as these are common areas for gradual deterioration that might not trigger an advisory. Structural integrity, including the sills, wheel arches, and underbody, should also be assessed for early corrosion, particularly if the car has been garaged or exposed to salt or moisture. The clean MOT record does not eliminate the need for a pre-purchase inspection, but it does reduce immediate red flags. The vehicle’s low mileage and lack of recurring defects imply it has been cared for, though potential buyers should verify service records for evidence of regular fluid changes, tyre rotations, and suspension checks. Without advisories or failures, the onus is on the buyer to confirm no hidden issues exist in areas the MOT does not scrutinise.
