2022 Peugeot 2008 GT Puretech S/S 1.2L Petrol · KW22 VYV

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following its most recent MOT test on 29 August 2025. While the car passed, the technical data reveals a concerning trend regarding the braking system maintenance. The tester noted that service brake requirements were only just met, indicating that the system is operating at the absolute limit of its legal tolerance. This suggests a reactive approach to maintenance where components are only addressed when they approach failure. At 27,255 miles over four years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 6,814 miles per year. This mileage profile is consistent with light urban usage and suggests the car has not been subjected to high long-distance stress. However, the low annual mileage may explain the condition of the braking hardware, as vehicles that travel short distances or sit for extended periods often suffer from surface corrosion and pitting on the iron-alloy brake discs. A prospective buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking assembly before purchase. The MOT record explicitly flagged pitted and scored discs on all four wheels, which often necessitates the replacement of the full set of rotors to ensure even stopping and prevent brake jud. The inspector should also check the thickness of the brake pads and ensure the calipers are not seizing or causing uneven wear. Given that the braking system barely passed the test criteria, a professional check of the hydraulic fluid condition and flexible lines is essential to avoid immediate mechanical failure.
