2021 Peugeot 2008 GT Puretech S/S 1.2L Petrol · BF71 UPA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward developing wear-related issues. The most recent test in September 2025 at 26,103 miles passed, but introduced new advisories regarding the suspension and tyre condition. While the vehicle met the legal standard, the appearance of play in a ball joint and rubber degradation indicates that components are beginning to reach the end of their functional life despite the low mileage. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,221 miles per year. Between September 2024 at 23,599 miles and September 2025 at 26,103 miles, the car covered only 2,504 miles. This low rate of use often leads to rubber components perishing rather than wearing through friction, as evidenced by the cracking and perishing noted on the offside front and rear tyres in the 2025 test. A buyer must physically inspect the nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint to determine if the play has progressed beyond a minor advisory requiring immediate replacement. The 2024 advisory regarding a nearside front tyre worn to the legal limit suggests potential alignment issues or uneven wear patterns that warrant a check of the vehicle's tracking geometry. Additionally, the tyres should be examined for deep sidewall cracking, as the low-use history suggests the rubber compound is drying out before the tread depth is exhausted.
