2021 Peugeot 208 GT Puretech S/S 1.2L Petrol · AV71 BWE

The Peugeot 208 GT PureTech S/S presents a clean MOT history, with the most recent test on 24 September 2025 at 32,643 miles showing no defects—an outcome that aligns with the prior examination on 8 October 2024 at 30,029 miles , also free of issues. This consistency over the past year suggests stable mechanical condition and adherence to basic maintenance, at least in terms of what the MOT tester evaluates. The absence of advisories or failures indicates no immediate concerns with structural integrity, suspension components, or critical safety systems like brakes or emissions. However, the short interval between tests—just over a year—means the vehicle has not been subjected to a full annual inspection since 2024 , leaving a gap where minor wear or emerging issues might have gone unchecked. The mileage accumulation of 6,529 miles per year is unremarkable for a five-year-old vehicle of this type, falling within typical usage patterns. The 2,614-mile increase between the two MOTs (from 30,029 to 32,643) over roughly 11 months suggests steady but not excessive driving, which generally correlates with predictable wear on consumables. There are no red flags in the mileage pattern—no sudden spikes that might imply neglect or rapid deterioration, nor prolonged periods of inactivity that could exacerbate issues like seized bearings or degraded seals. The data is sparse but sufficient to confirm the car has not been abused or left idle for extended periods. For a prospective buyer, the absence of MOT defects does not eliminate the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection. Given the vehicle’s age and the reliance on PureTech engines, particular attention should be paid to the oil consumption history —a known issue in some 1.2 PureTech models—and the turbocharger operation , which can degrade if oil changes have been irregular. The suspension components , including coil springs and bushings, should be checked for wear, especially if the car has been driven on rough roads. While the MOT record shows no brake-related failures, the rear brake calipers and discs are common wear points on this model and warrant a close examination for binding or uneven wear. Finally, the exhaust system and underbody corrosion should be inspected, as modern compact cars are particularly vulnerable to rust in high-salt or wet climates, despite the lack of MOT advisories in this case.
