2022 Peugeot 3008 1.2L Petrol · SJ22 VFW

The most recent MOT conducted on 07/05/2025 resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates that the vehicle met all statutory safety and environmental standards at the time of testing. Based on the available documentation, the maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has successfully cleared its most recent inspection without any noted mechanical, structural, or emissions-related issues. The recorded mileage of 43,501 miles over a four-year period equates to an annual average of approximately 10,875 miles. This represents typical UK usage for a vehicle of this class, suggesting it has been used regularly enough to prevent excessive component seizure but not so heavily as to suggest premature wear of the drivetrain or suspension. This balanced usage profile generally implies that consumables like brake pads and tyres should be in a predictable state of wear, though it remains essential to verify this against the actual physical condition during a hands-on inspection. As the MOT history is currently clear of advisories, your inspection should focus on age-related degradation and time-based maintenance. Closely examine the tyres for any signs of perishing, such as sidewall cracking or micro-cracking in the tread grooves, which can occur due to age rather than mileage. During the test drive, listen for any suspension clunks or knocks when traversing uneven surfaces, which could indicate worn bushes or failing coil springs. You should also check for any brake shudder or pulsation under deceleration, which may suggest warped discs or binding calipers that have not yet reached a failure threshold. Given the vehicle's age, it is vital to confirm that all time-sensitive fluid changes have been carried out according to the manufacturer's schedule, specifically regarding brake fluid and engine coolant. Verify the service book stamps to ensure consistent maintenance, as fluid degradation can occur independently of mileage. Additionally, inspect the 12V battery for any signs of terminal corrosion and check the overall health of the electrical system, as modern Peugeot electronics are sensitive to voltage fluctuations. Finally, check for any signs of fluid leaks around the engine bay or under the chassis that may have been too minor to trigger an MOT advisory but warrant attention.
