2020 Peugeot 2008 GT Line Puretech S/S 1.2L Petrol · EK20 DFF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent test in March 2026 at 46,320 miles, it failed just two miles prior due to multiple mechanical defects. The presence of an oil leak and split CV boots in the March 2026 failure suggests that the owner is only addressing faults when they necessitate an MOT pass rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical low-use cycles, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year over the six-year period. The record shows steady progression from 30,344 miles in March 2024 to 38,500 miles in March 2025, finally reaching 46,320 miles in 2026. This low mileage suggests the drivetrain and suspension components have not faced extreme stress, though the intervals between tests indicate that rubber components may be degrading due to age despite the low distance driven. A buyer must focus specifically on the front drivetrain assembly because both the nearside and offside front CV boots failed in the March 2026 test. Split boots allow grease to escape and grit to enter, which inevitably leads to premature drive joint failure if not replaced immediately. The oil leak noted in the 2026 test also requires a physical inspection to determine if it originates from a simple valve cover gasket or a more significant seal failure, as the tester noted it was not yet excessive. Additionally, the nearside front tyre was flagged as being worn on the edge and near the legal limit, which often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. The buyer should verify the wheel geometry and check for uneven wear across the remaining remaining tyres. While the 2025 failure for a stop lamp was a minor electrical oversight, the recurring appearance of mechanical wear in the latest record suggests a lack of thorough pre-test inspections by the previous owner.
