2022 Peugeot 2008 GT Puretech S/S 1.2L Petrol · BO53 VKY

A pattern of critical wear on braking and tyre components characterised the vehicle's mid-life testing, including a failure in February 2025 due to dangerous tyre tread depths and worn brake pads. While the record has since stabilised, with a pass on 28 August 2026 and a clean test in August 2025, the earlier failure highlights a period where essential safety consumables reached their absolute limit. The current status is relatively stable, though the most recent test notes the presence of under trays. The recorded mileage of 37,821 miles over approximately four years represents an average annual accumulation of roughly 9,455 miles. This usage profile is typical for this class of vehicle and suggests a consistent application of the drivetrain and suspension. Such mileage generally means that while the vehicle has not suffered from long-term standing, it has entered the phase where wear-and-tear items like brake pads and tyres require regular monitoring and replacement to maintain roadworthiness. Attention should be paid to the braking system, specifically the nearside rear service brake which was previously flagged for fluctuating performance. During a test drive, the buyer should feel for any unevenness in pedal pressure or a slight pull to one side under moderate braking. Given the history of rapid tyre wear across all four corners in early 2025, a physical inspection of the current tyre tread depths and an assessment of the wear patterns on the edges of the front tyres is necessary to ensure the wheel alignment is correct and the tyres are not nearing their legal limit again. The advisory regarding under trays in the latest August 2026 test indicates these components are fitted, which can sometimes obstruct a full visual inspection of the engine bay or chassis during a test. It is advisable to confirm that these trays are securely fastened and not dragging or damaged. A check for any abnormal knocks or vibrations during low-speed manoeuvres will help determine if any suspension components have deteriorated in line with the overall mileage.
