2017 Peugeot 3008 1.2L Petrol · YL17 HBY

This 2017 Peugeot 3008 demonstrates an acceptable overall roadworthiness status, passing every test on the first attempt, though the maintenance trend shows worsening wear on standard consumables. In the September 2025 test at 27,020 miles, the examiner issued multiple advisories covering both front brake pads wearing thin, pitted and scored front and rear brake discs, a near-side front tyre worn close to the legal limit, and an offside front tyre showing perishing and low tread on the inner edge. These exact same brake wear items were already flagged in the October 2024 test at 21,151 miles, proving that previous owners postponed necessary brake replacements across consecutive years. The vehicle has covered a total of 27,020 miles over its nine-year lifespan, averaging roughly three thousand miles annually. This low mileage profile indicates exceptionally light use, which explains the completely clean test sheets recorded early in its life on July 2020 at 9,948 miles and October 2020 at 10,316 miles. Incremental mileage accumulation remained consistent year on year without any suspicious gaps or extended periods of storage, moving predictably from 12,993 miles in October 2021 to 16,603 miles in October 2022 and 19,191 miles by October 2023. A prospective buyer must carefully inspect the braking system in person, as the discs and pads have now spanned two consecutive MOT tests with documented wear and pitting, making replacement an immediate financial requirement upon purchase. You should also check the inner edges of both front tyres for the sidewall cracking and low tread depth noted in the latest inspection, alongside the offside front constant velocity boot which suffered severe deterioration during the October 2023 test at 19,191 miles. The earlier anti-roll bar linkage play noted in October 2022 warrants a quick check for any developing suspension knocking, though the overall history confirms a structurally sound chassis that simply requires a thorough refresh of its friction materials and rubber components.
