2023 Peugeot 2008 Allure Puretech S/S Auto 1.2L Petrol · CV73 FVT

The most recent MOT test conducted on 07 July 2026 resulted in a pass, though the report highlights several areas requiring attention. While the vehicle is technically roadworthy, the combination of minor defects regarding the windscreen wiper blades and an advisory for tyre wear suggests a maintenance pattern that is somewhat reactive. The presence of these issues at the time of testing indicates that routine consumable replacements may have been overlooked, so you should verify if the owner has addressed these specific points since the inspection. With a recorded mileage of 32,609 miles after approximately three years of service, the vehicle has covered an average of roughly 10,870 miles per annum. This usage profile is entirely consistent with typical UK driving patterns for a small SUV, suggesting the vehicle has not been subjected to excessive heavy-duty use nor has it suffered from the potential issues associated with long-term stationary periods. You can expect the mechanical components, including the drivetrain and suspension, to be in a state of wear that is commensurate with this moderate mileage. The advisory concerning the nearside rear tyre being worn close to the legal limit and specifically worn on the edge is a significant point for inspection. Uneven edge wear is frequently a symptom of incorrect wheel alignment, improper tyre pressures, or worn suspension bushes and components. During your test drive, pay close attention to the vehicle's stability; listen for any rhythmic thumping or vibrations from the rear axle and check for any pulling or drifting when the steering wheel is held straight. It is also prudent to inspect the other three tyres for similar patterns of uneven wear, which would confirm a geometry or alignment issue. Regarding the minor defects, ensure that the windscreen wipers operate smoothly without streaking or juddering, as this is essential for safety. Beyond the MOT findings, given the vehicle's age and the specific Puretech engine, you must confirm that the service history is complete and that oil changes have been performed strictly according to the manufacturer's intervals to prevent long-term engine issues. Finally, inspect the brake discs for any significant corrosion or scoring and check the battery's health, as even typical-mileage vehicles can experience battery degradation depending on the frequency of short journeys.
