2021 Peugeot 2008 Allure Puretech S/S 1.2L Petrol · C18 CCN

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 18 August 2026, indicating that it currently meets the minimum legal roadworthiness standards. The overall maintenance trend appears stable as the car has consistently passed its inspections without any major failures. However, a recurring pattern of advisories regarding rear tyre wear suggests a need for closer attention to the chassis and wheel alignment to ensure long-term stability. With a recorded mileage of 38,204 miles over approximately five years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 7,641 miles per year. This usage rate is considered typical for this class of vehicle, suggesting a balanced duty cycle that avoids the pitfalls of both excessive wear on drivetrain components and the degradation associated with prolonged periods of standing. Mechanically, this mileage suggests the vehicle is entering a phase where initial consumables will require replacement, but it should not yet exhibit significant fatigue in the suspension or structural components. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the rear tyres, as the MOT history shows repeated advisories for wear on the edges. This specific wear pattern often points to incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes, which can lead to premature tyre failure and compromised handling. During a test drive, listen for unusual road noise and feel for any instability or pulling when travelling in a straight line. It is recommended to verify if a four-wheel alignment has been performed recently or if the rear tyres have been replaced since the 2025 inspection. Given the age of the vehicle and the specific PureTech engine configuration, it is imperative to verify the service history regarding oil changes and the condition of the timing belt. Because this engine utilizes a wet-belt system, adhering to strict oil specifications and intervals is critical to prevent belt degradation. Additionally, while the most recent advisory regarding the child seat is a minor administrative point, the buyer should ensure all seatbelts retract smoothly and lock correctly. Finally, a physical inspection of the brake discs for surface corrosion and a check of the 12V battery health is advised to ensure the start-stop system is functioning efficiently.
