2020 Peugeot 208 Allure Premium Puretech SS 1.2L Petrol · BF70 JWL

The most recent MOT on 2025-09-18 showed the vehicle passed with a minor tyre issue: a nearside front tyre had a cut not deep enough to expose ply or cords. This mirrors earlier findings, as the nearside rear tyre also had a similar cut in all prior MOTs from 2023-09-07, 2024-09-10 (pass), and 2024-09-10 (fail). These recurring tyre cuts suggest a persistent, non-critical defect that has not worsened in severity over time. The 2024-09-10 MOT included a failure for an offside windscreen wiper not clearing the windscreen effectively, which may have been addressed by 2025-09-18. No other failures are recorded in the latest pass, indicating repairs were likely made. However, the repeated tyre cuts and one failure highlight a pattern of minor, recurring issues rather than systemic problems. The vehicle’s mileage of 24,152 miles at 6 years old averages 4,025 miles per year, which is low for its age. This could reflect light use or extended periods of inactivity, both of which might contribute to tyre dry rot, rubber component aging, or underused mechanical systems. However, the absence of major faults in the MOT history suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained despite the low mileage. The trend shows stability in the main risks: tyre cuts have remained non-critical, and the single wiper failure was resolved.
