2020 Peugeot 2008 Allure Premium Ptech S/S 1.2L Petrol · KS70 BNN

A recurring pattern of tyre wear across multiple test cycles defines the recent roadworthiness history of this vehicle, with the pass recorded on 11 March 2026 flagging both front and rear tyres as worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges. This follows a trend of similar advisories for the rear tyres in March 2024, suggesting a consistent cycle of wear. While the vehicle has maintained a generally stable pass rate, the repeated appearance of tyre-related advisories indicates a need for immediate attention to the rubber. The recorded mileage of 105,864 miles is high for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 17,644 miles per year. This level of usage suggests the vehicle has been employed for long-distance or high-frequency commuting, which typically accelerates the wear of consumables and drivetrain components. Mechanically, this high accumulation increases the likelihood of fatigue in suspension bushes and mounting points, as well as accelerated wear on the braking system and engine seals compared to a lower-mileage equivalent. Particular attention should be paid to the engine bay and underbody due to the oil leak recorded during the March 2025 inspection. During a physical inspection, check for fresh oil misting around the engine block and gaskets, and verify if any residue has accumulated on the chassis. On the test drive, monitor for any unusual vibrations or steering pull, which may correlate with the recorded edge wear on the tyres and could indicate an alignment issue or worn suspension components. The braking system requires scrutiny following the 2025 advisory regarding thin rear brake pads. During the test drive, feel for any pedal judder or a lack of immediate bite, and listen for grinding noises during deceleration that would suggest the pads have reached their wear limits. Given the high mileage and the history of tyre wear, a thorough check of the tyre tread depth and the condition of the sidewalls is essential to ensure the vehicle is currently road-legal.
