2022 Peugeot 208 GT Puretech S/S 1.2L Petrol · KM22 EPP

The most recent MOT test conducted on 27 October 2025 resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern from the previous year's test in October 2024, which also showed no defects. Based on these official DVSA records, the vehicle's maintenance trend appears stable and compliant with safety standards, indicating that no immediate structural or major mechanical failures have been identified during the recent inspection cycles. The recorded mileage of 53,032 miles for a four-year-old vehicle represents an annual usage rate of approximately 13,258 miles. This is relatively high for a small petrol hatchback, suggesting the car has been used extensively for regular commuting or long-distance driving. While consistent high mileage can often mean the engine has been operated through its optimal temperature ranges, it also necessitates a more rigorous inspection of wear-and-tear components. You should anticipate that consumables such as brake pads, discs, and suspension components may be further along in their lifecycle compared to a lower-mileage equivalent. As the MOT history is currently devoid of advisories, your physical inspection should focus on the mechanical implications of its usage profile. During the test drive, listen closely for any rhythmic knocking or clunking from the underside, which could indicate worn suspension bushes, dampers, or failing coil springs. Pay particular attention to the braking performance; any shuddering through the pedal or pulling to one side may suggest warped brake discs or binding calipers. Additionally, inspect the tyres for uneven wear patterns, which could point to underlying issues with wheel alignment or suspension geometry. Finally, given the mileage, it is essential to verify the service book to confirm that oil and filter changes have been carried out strictly according to the manufacturer's schedule, as the PureTech engine requires high-quality lubrication to maintain long-term reliability. Check the condition of the drive belts and inspect for any signs of fluid leaks around the engine bay or underside. Although the MOT is clean, you should also consider the age of the battery and the state of the coolant and brake fluids, as these are subject to chemical degradation over time regardless of the vehicle's mechanical state.
