2021 Peugeot 2008 GT Line Puretech S/S 1.2L Petrol · JB63 TJB

This Peugeot 2008 has maintained a clean MOT record since November 2023, with only two minor advisories in its history and no defects on the last three tests. The most recent failure—on June 4, 2026—was purely administrative (registration plate non-compliance), and the subsequent retest a day later confirmed the vehicle’s mechanical soundness with no further issues. The absence of recurring structural, suspension, or braking defects suggests the car has been well maintained in critical areas, though the near-miss tyre advisory in late 2023 indicates the previous owner may have deferred routine consumable replacements. Overall, the trend is stable, with no signs of worsening mechanical degradation. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging around 8,500 miles annually. There are no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity that might suggest neglect or infrequent driving. The last MOT at 42,500 miles in June 2026 follows a steady interval since the 2023 test at 17,951 miles, implying consistent, moderate use without excessive wear. The lack of major defects across four tests further supports the idea that the car has been serviced according to schedule, though the tyre and wiper blade advisories hint at occasional oversight in basic upkeep. For a prospective buyer, the primary focus should be verifying the condition of the tyres and suspension components, given the past advisory for a near-legal tread depth. The nearside front tyre’s edge wear in 2023 could indicate alignment issues or uneven loading, so checking for uneven tyre wear or worn suspension bushes would be prudent. While no brake or steering faults have been recorded, a closer inspection of the rear brakes—particularly for binding or uneven wear—is warranted, as the 2023 test did not explicitly clear them. Structural corrosion and exhaust emissions should also be visually confirmed, though the MOT history provides no evidence of prior concerns in these areas. The vehicle’s clean record beyond minor consumables suggests it has been cared for, but a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic would be advisable to confirm no latent issues exist.
