2022 Peugeot 2008 GT Premium Puretech S/S A 1.2L Petrol · DA61 ABA

The most recent MOT test conducted on 9 January 2026 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. This follows a clean pass in February 2025, indicating a stable and consistent maintenance trend. The absence of advisories or failures across the recent inspection history suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets the legal requirements for roadworthiness without immediate mechanical concerns being flagged by the tester. The recorded mileage of 26,100 miles against a four-year-old vehicle equates to an annual average of approximately 6,525 miles. This is considered low to moderate usage for a modern petrol vehicle, suggesting it has likely been used for shorter journeys or local commuting rather than heavy motorway mileage. While this lower mileage generally implies less wear on high-friction components such as the brake pads, discs, and drivetrain, it also means the vehicle may have experienced longer periods of inactivity, which necessitates a specific approach to mechanical inspection. Since the MOT history is clean and the mileage is relatively low, the inspection should focus on age-related degradation rather than wear-and-tear from heavy use. You should closely examine the tyres for signs of sidewall perishing or cracking, which can occur if the vehicle has been parked for extended periods. Check the tread depth across all four tyres to ensure even wear, as unevenness could indicate underlying suspension bush issues or alignment problems. Given the low annual mileage, it is also vital to verify the service history to ensure that oil and coolant changes have been carried out on a time-based schedule rather than just a mileage-based one, as fluids can degrade chemically over time regardless of distance driven. Additionally, inspect the 12V battery health, as vehicles with lower usage patterns are more susceptible to discharge or reduced capacity. During your test drive, listen for any unusual noises from the suspension or steering components, such as knocks or rattles, which might suggest that rubber components like bushes or coil springs have aged or hardened. Finally, check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which can develop if the car has been standing frequently, and ensure there is no evidence of binding calipers or uneven braking performance.
