2023 Peugeot 2008 Allure Puretech S/S 1.2L Petrol · CF73 VMG

The most recent MOT, carried out on 11 August 2026, was passed with no recorded defects or advisories. With only a single MOT entry available, the data set is limited, but the clean result indicates that, to date, the vehicle has been maintained in a condition that meets the statutory safety and emissions standards. In the absence of any prior failures or recurring advisories, the maintenance trend can be regarded as stable, though a longer MOT history would be needed to confirm an improving or deteriorating pattern. At 13 888 miles the 2023 Peugeot 2008 Allure PureTech has logged roughly 4 600 miles per year, well below the UK average of around 8 000–10 000 miles annually for a comparable age. Such low utilisation often points to light, predominantly urban or occasional use, or periods of storage. While reduced wear on consumables such as tyres, brakes and the drivetrain is a benefit, prolonged inactivity can give rise to age‑related degradation – for example, tyre sidewall perishing, battery sulphation, and corrosion of suspension bushings or brake components. The mileage figure therefore suggests that the buyer should focus as much on calendar‑based wear as on mileage‑related wear. When inspecting the vehicle, begin with the tyres: verify the DOT code on the sidewall to confirm the manufacturing date, and look for cracking, dry‑rot or uneven tread wear that could indicate mis‑alignment or worn suspension components. Examine the 12‑volt battery for any signs of leakage, swollen case or corroded terminals, and consider a load test to ensure it retains adequate cranking power after several years of low use. The suspension should be checked for any loosened or cracked rubber bushings, especially at the front lower arms and rear trailing arms, as these can deteriorate even when the car is stationary. During a short test drive listen for any clunking or squeaking over bumps, which would point to worn bushings or deteriorated shock absorbers. Finally, assess the braking system for surface rust on the discs and any uneven pad wear; a light surface rust layer is normal after storage but should be removable without excessive effort. Verify that the brake pedal feels firm and that there is no pulsation or shudder when applying the brakes. Check all fluid reservoirs – engine oil, coolant, brake fluid and power‑steering fluid – for correct level and colour; fluids can break down over time regardless of mileage and may require replacement according to the manufacturer’s time‑based service schedule. Confirm that the service book contains recent oil changes and any scheduled maintenance stamps, and look for any oil or coolant leaks around the engine bay and under the vehicle. Addressing these age‑related checks will give a prospective buyer confidence that the low‑mileage Peugeot remains mechanically sound and road‑worthy.
