2017 Peugeot 3008 1.2L Petrol · SW17 YCP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive service pattern rather than preventative care. While it passed its most recent test in May 2026 at 81,219 miles, this followed a failure just five days prior. The trend shows a recurring failure to address mechanical wear-and-tear until they reach the point of MOT examination failure. This suggests the previous owner performed the bare minimum required to pass the annual test rather than conducting regular mechanical inspections. At 81,219 miles over nine years, the Peugeot averages approximately 9,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent mileage accumulation, with roughly 10,000 miles covered between May 2024 and April 2025, and another 7,200 miles between April 2025 and May 2026. This steady usage indicates the car is driven regularly, which explains the accelerated wear observed on consumable components like the suspension and braking system. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The nearside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint was flagged for play in both 2024 and 2026, indicating a persistent issue that may not have been fully rectified. The offside front drive shaft CV boot was also split during the May 2026 failure; the buyer should verify that the entire assembly was replaced to prevent premature joint failure. The front brake discs were noted as pitted and scored in the latest test, suggesting they are nearing the end of their effective life. The tyre condition also warrants scrutiny. The inner edge wear on both front tyres recorded in 2026 often points to a wheel alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. Given the fractured offside rear coil spring noted in 2025, the remaining suspension components should be checked for signs of heavy corrosion or stress fractures. Because the vehicle has a history of failing on multiple mechanical items simultaneously, a thorough pre-purchase inspection is necessary to ensure no hidden faults remain in the drivetrain or chassis.
