2021 Peugeot 2008 Active Puretech S/S Auto 1.2L Petrol · K99 RCC

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 23 March 2026, maintaining a consistent record of success over the last three years. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, with the vehicle consistently meeting minimum safety standards without any recorded major structural or mechanical failures. While the history shows a pattern of minor advisories related to consumable components, there is no evidence of systemic neglect or recurring critical defects, suggesting a vehicle that has been reasonably maintained in line with its age. With a recorded mileage of 43,357 miles over approximately five years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 8,671 miles per annum. This is considered typical usage for this class of vehicle and indicates a balanced duty cycle, avoiding the risks associated with both excessive high-mileage wear and the degradation caused by prolonged standing. Mechanically, this mileage suggests that while the primary drivetrain components should remain robust, the vehicle is entering a phase where secondary consumables and wear-and-tear items will require closer scrutiny. Prospective buyers should pay immediate attention to the nearside rear tyre, which was noted as being close to the legal limit and worn on the edge during the latest inspection. This specific wear pattern can indicate a misalignment of the rear axle or incorrect camber settings, so a full four-wheel alignment check is recommended. During a test drive, listen for any abnormal road noise or vibrations that could signal uneven tyre wear or suspension bush degradation. It is also essential to verify if the front brake discs and pads, which were flagged as wearing thin in early 2024, have since been replaced. Check the disc surfaces for significant lip formation or scoring, and feel for any shuddering under braking which would indicate warped discs. Beyond the MOT history, specific attention must be given to the PureTech engine maintenance, particularly the timing belt service interval, as these are critical for long-term engine integrity. Review the service book for evidence of oil changes using the manufacturer-specified grade to prevent belt degradation. Additionally, as this is a stop-start automatic model, the health of the 12V battery and the smoothness of the gearbox transitions should be verified. Ensure there are no hesitations during gear shifts and that the stop-start system engages and disengages without delay, as battery degradation often manifests first through the failure of these auxiliary systems.
