2020 PEUGEOT 208 GT PURETECH S/S AUTO1.2L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent inspection history indicates a downward trend in preventative maintenance. While it passed the test on 22 January 2026 at 31,661 miles, it had failed just one day prior due to a structural bulge in the nearside front tyre. The presence of new advisories regarding the offside front anti-roll bar linkage and pitted front brake discs suggests that components are reaching the end of their service life and require immediate attention. The mileage profile is consistently low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,277 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between the February 2025 test at 19,284 miles and the January 2026 test at 31,661 miles, representing over 12,000 miles driven in under eleven months. This recent spike in activity explains the accelerated wear observed on consumables, as the vehicle's rubber components and braking surfaces are stressed following the periods of low use seen around the March 2023 test. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension to address the play in the anti-roll bar linkage ball joint, which is a flagged defect that could lead to future failure. The front brake discs are already scored and pitted, which often necessitates a replacement alongside new pads to ensure effective stopping performance. Furthermore, the nearside front tyre must be replaced immediately due to the structural bulge, and the offside front tyre should be monitored for further degradation of the cut that does not yet reach the internal cords.
