2020 Peugeot 2008 GT Puretech S/S Auto 1.2L Petrol · J55 EAH

The vehicle's current roadworthiness is rated as unsafe , primarily due to a structural integrity risk involving the front windscreen wiper assembly which has failed to clear the windscreen effectively. The vehicle was tested in the September 2023 test, resulting in a 18,338-mile MOT failure at the 3.4(b)(ii) level. This indicates that the front wiper belt and linkage are severely worn, a condition that has not been addressed since the previous MOT failure in February 2023. Since the most recent test was conducted in June 2026, the vehicle has not been inspected for this specific fault since the previous failure, suggesting a worsening trend in mechanical upkeep. The mileage pattern is unstable and accelerating , reflecting rapid accumulation of wear on consumables and suspension components. The vehicle was tested at 35,421 miles in February 2025, followed by a 26,840-mile test in February 2024, and a 26,840-mile test in February 2023. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests is significant, suggesting that the owner may have been unable to maintain adequate tyre pressures or suspension tuning during the intervening period. The 43,044-mile test in February 2026 shows the vehicle has accumulated approximately 7,174 miles in one year, which is consistent with a typical 2020 model's annual mileage of roughly 7,000 miles. This rapid accumulation indicates that the vehicle has not undergone regular servicing, leading to accelerated failure of the front wiper assembly and other critical components. Given the recurring faults and the worsening trend, a buyer should inspect the vehicle in person for the front windscreen wiper assembly , the suspension bushes and coil springs , and brake discs . The inspection must confirm whether the wiper belt and linkage are still in good condition, as the previous MOT failure in February 2023 indicates a critical wear pattern that requires immediate attention. Additionally, the buyer must verify the condition of the brake discs, as the failure in February 2023 suggests that the brake system may not be fully maintained, potentially leading to a binding condition in the future.
