2021 Peugeot 208 Allure Puretech S/S Auto 1.2L Petrol · GD21 ZDR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear decline regarding the braking system. While it passed the most recent test in March 2026 at 32,689 miles, the tester flagged thin front brake pads and pitted front inner brake discs. This follows an advisory from the March 2025 test where the discs were already noted as scored, indicating that these components have reached the end of their operational life and require immediate replacement. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use urban commuter vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. There is a gap of 1,652 miles between the April 2024 test and the March 2025 test, and only 557 miles recorded prior to the recent March 2026 inspection. This low annual mileage suggests the car has not been subjected to heavy long-distance wear, which often contributes to the surface corrosion and pitting observed on the brake discs despite the low overall mileage. A buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the front braking assembly to ensure the pitting on the discs has not compromised their structural integrity. The recurring nature of these faults across the last two tests suggests the previous owner performed reactive maintenance rather than proactive replacement. Beyond the brakes, the buyer should check for signs of brake caliper seizing or uneven wear, as low-mileage vehicles that sit for extended periods are prone to uneven pad distribution and rust on components that are not frequently used.
