2021 Peugeot 2008 GT Puretech S/S 1.2L Petrol · KE21 PXP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach to mechanical upkeep. The most recent test in July 2025 at 43,681 miles shows a pass following a failure just two days prior. While the immediate failures regarding shock absorbers and tyres were addressed, the persistence of deteriorated CV boots and perished tyres as advisories indicates that the previous owner only addressed components once they reached a point of failure or near-failure status. The mileage pattern is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per annum. There is a clear gap of 6,916 miles between the July 2024 and July 2025 tests, which suggests steady usage patterns. However, the failure in July 2024 at 36,765 miles highlighted a total neglect of the braking system, with all pads and discs being significantly worn. This lapse suggests that routine service intervals were likely overlooked until the annual MOT test forced necessary repairs. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension and drivetrain before purchase. The July 2025 record flagged both front outer CV boots for severe deterioration and grease seepage; if these were not replaced during the recent repair, they will soon fail, leading to expensive joint damage. Furthermore, the serious fluid leak on the offside rear shock absorber must be verified to ensure the component was actually replaced and not merely cleaned. Given the previous history of total brake wear, checking the current thickness of the pads and the condition of the discs is essential to ensure the current maintenance standard is being met.
