2017 Peugeot 3008 1.2L Petrol · YA17 WYM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a trend of reactive repairs rather than proactive preventative care. The most recent MOT test in April 2026 at 202,517 miles identified severe deterioration and cracking on both front outer drive shaft constant velocity boots. While the vehicle passed the test, the condition of these rubber components suggests an imminent risk of failure which could lead to grease loss and catastrophic damage to the CV joints if not addressed immediately. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging 22,500 miles per annum. There is a significant surge in usage recorded between March 2025 and April 2026, where the car covered 79,157 miles in just over thirteen months. This rapid accumulation indicates heavy high-speed motorway use or intensive commercial application, which places extreme mechanical stress on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking system. The gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests shows this accelerated wear pattern. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the rear suspension, as the record shows recurring fractured coil spring failures in both 2024 and 2025. The fact that the nearside spring failed followed by the offside spring suggests the rear assembly may be reaching the end of its fatigue life. Additionally, the 2024 report of pitted and scored brake discs indicates that the braking system has been subjected to harsh conditions. Given the high mileage and the recent CV boot failures, a professional check for oil leaks around the gearbox hubs and excessive play in the wheel bearings is essential before finalizing a purchase.
