2019 Peugeot 2008 Allure Prem Puretech SS A 1.2L Petrol · AF69 WCD

The most recent MOT on 18 November 2025 was passed with no recorded defects, and the preceding tests in 2024 and 2022 also returned clean passes. The only non‑pass item in the recent history is an advisory from the 15 December 2023 test concerning front brake disc wear and the near‑side front outer tyre being close to the legal tread limit. Overall the maintenance trend appears stable, with the vehicle having cleared three consecutive tests without failure and only a single advisory that does not constitute a safety defect. At 42,904 miles on a 2019 model the average annual mileage works out at roughly 6,100 mi per year, which sits comfortably within the typical UK usage envelope for a vehicle of this age. There are no large gaps in recorded mileage that would suggest prolonged periods of storage, nor is there any indication of accelerated mileage accumulation that would accelerate wear on major components. Consequently the wear on drivetrain, suspension and engine elements should be consistent with moderate, regular use rather than excessive strain. When you inspect the car, give particular attention to the front braking system. Measure the remaining disc thickness on both sides and compare it with the manufacturer’s minimum specification; a disc that is approaching the limit will be more prone to warping, producing a pulsating pedal or audible squeal under hard braking. Examine the brake pads for uneven wear and ensure the calipers move freely without sticking, as a binding caliper can accelerate disc thinning and generate brake‑fade symptoms. On a test drive listen for any low‑frequency shudder through the pedal, feel for a spongy or pulsating response, and check that the vehicle tracks straight without pulling, which could indicate warped discs or uneven tyre wear. The front‑right tyre flagged in the 2023 advisory should be measured for tread depth using a tread‑depth gauge; any reading below 1.6 mm is illegal and below 3 mm suggests imminent replacement. Inspect all four tyres for sidewall cracking, dry rot or bulges that can develop with age even on low‑mileage cars. Verify the condition of the suspension bushes, ball joints and shock absorbers by checking for any clunking when applying the brakes or driving over bumps. Given the vehicle is now seven years old, assess the 12 V battery’s charge capacity, the condition of the coolant and brake fluid (both of which degrade with time and should be flushed at least every two years), and confirm that the service book shows regular oil changes and any required timing‑chain inspections. A thorough visual and tactile inspection combined with a careful test drive will reveal whether any of these time‑related items are approaching the end of their service life.
