2021 Peugeot 2008 GT Premium Puretech S/S A 1.2L Petrol · BJ21 AHD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend has shifted from a clean record to the emergence of mechanical wear. The most recent test on 16 March 2026 at 40,054 miles resulted in a pass, but the tester flagged play in the offside steering rack inner joints as an advisory. This indicates the onset of wear in the steering geometry that will require attention in the near future. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical use for a five year old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,011 miles per year. The distance covered between the March 2024 test at 18,398 miles and the March 2025 test at 30,348 miles shows a steady increase of nearly 12,000 miles. A further 9,706 miles were added by the March 2026 test, suggesting a stable and predictable usage profile without periods of prolonged standing. Previous records show a high standard of upkeep. The only failure occurred on 19 March 2024 at 18,398 miles due to an ineffective front windscreen wiper, a minor consumable fault that was resolved the same day. The absence of defects in the 2025 test suggests the previous owner maintained the vehicle well during its early years. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the steering system. The recent advisory regarding the steering rack inner joints suggests the front end is beginning to age. While not an immediate failure, these components can be costly to replace if the play worsens. Checking for any accompanying knocks or vibrations during a test drive is essential to determine if the steering rack requires immediate refurbishment or replacement.
