Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2021 Peugeot 3008 GT Prem P Tech S/s A?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

How are tyres and brakes typically on a 2021 Peugeot 3008 GT Prem P Tech S/s A?

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

The 2021 Peugeot 3008 GT Premier is a notably reliable proposition, passing its MOT first time in 91.8% of cases—well above the UK average of 80%—and only 10.3% have ever suffered a dangerous defect. This petrol-only cohort shows consistent performance, with the petrol variant achieving an identical 91.7% pass rate.

These vehicles are running at sensible mileages for their age (median 24,900 miles), and they're failing badly in very few cases (just 0.25 failures per car on average). The real telling detail is that owners are clocking up 2.1 advisories each, suggesting minor wear items need attention rather than structural problems—so budget for routine maintenance, but don't expect the MOT bay to surprise you with major bills.

The 2021 Peugeot 3008 GT Prem P Tech S/s A passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (92.5% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.

⚠️ About 1 in 12 of these vehicles have had a dangerous MOT failure at some point — usually tyres or brakes, and often a one-off issue rather than a persistent problem. The group stats won't tell you which one you're looking at.

For context

✅ Good baseline reliability. A 92.5% first-time pass rate puts this well above the UK average — it's a well-sorted vehicle in this age bracket.

🔧 Expect consumable spend. An average of 2.1 advisories per vehicle tells you wear items (tyres, brakes) get flagged regularly. Budget for them — they're not surprises.

🔍 The dangerous defect figure is real. Most are one-off tyre failures or brake issues — not structural problems. But it's exactly why checking the individual vehicle's history is essential, not optional.

These stats describe 1,056 vehicles as a group. The specific vehicle you're looking at could be the one good example or the one outlier. Run its registration to find out.
