2021 Peugeot 2008 Allure Puretech S/S Auto 1.2L Petrol · GE21 AGZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worrying trend toward reactive mechanical neglect. While it passed its most recent test in May 2026 at 46,236 miles, this followed a failure just one day prior due to significant mechanical defects. The appearance of an excessively worn nearside front suspension arm ball joint and a cracking timing belt indicates that critical components were not serviced before they reached the point of MOT test failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 9,250 miles per year. There is a notable gap of over 7,000 miles between March 2024 and March 2025, followed by a rapid accumulation of nearly 12,000 miles in the year leading up to the 2026 tests. While low mileage suggests less wear on the drivetrain, the sudden surge in usage coinciding with recent failures suggests the owner may only be addressing issues when they become terminal rather than performing preventative maintenance. A buyer must prioritise the immediate replacement of the timing belt and pump, as the cracking noted at 46,236 miles represents a high risk of engine failure if left untreated. The recurring advisory regarding front tyres wearing on the inner edges, seen in both 2025 and 2026, indicates a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension geometry that requires professional rectification. A physical inspection of the entire front suspension bushes, ball joints, and steering is essential to ensure no further hidden wear exists beyond the replaced nearside arm.
