2019 Peugeot 2008 Allure Prem Puretech S/S 1.2L Petrol · LB69 SSU

A clear pattern of front-end wear dominates the MOT history of this 2019 Peugeot 2008, with front brake and front tyre advisories appearing at virtually every annual test from 2022 through 2025, and the most recent examination on 22 December 2025 producing a pass accompanied by four advisories of which three relate to nearside front, offside front, and nearside rear tread approaching the legal limit. The 2024 test added further weight to this picture, flagging advanced wear to the front brake discs alongside the same pad wear and front tyre edge wear seen previously, while also recording a minor failure of the nearside registration plate lamp. The escalation from pad advisories in 2022 and 2023 to a specific note about advanced disc deterioration by late 2024 indicates that the braking components on the front axle have been working progressively closer to a service threshold, and the simultaneous repeat front-tyre advisories across all four tests suggests the steering geometry or suspension geometry is generating uneven shoulder wear that has not yet been rectified. Mileage accumulation is broadly consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging around 7,800 miles per year across the seven-year period, which is within the expected range for a small SUV of this type and provides no immediate cause for concern regarding long-term storage or unusual usage. There are no extended gaps between testing entries, with annual examinations recorded consecutively from late 2022 through to the end of 2025, indicating the vehicle has remained in regular use throughout the period covered by the record. At 54,739 recorded miles, consumable wear on clutches, brake components, tyres, and suspension items is entirely proportionate to the mileage, and the recurring advisories align with what would reasonably be expected from a vehicle of this age and mile accumulation rather than indicating any abnormal mechanical distress. For a prospective buyer, the priority items are the front brake discs and pads, which have been flagged repeatedly and noted as showing advanced wear as recently as December 2024. On a test drive, listen for any grinding, scraping, or metallic squeal from the front wheels under light braking, and feel for vibration or pulsation through the brake pedal which would suggest the front discs have worn beyond their minimum thickness or developed lipping. The steering should track straight under braking; any pull to one side may indicate a binding caliper or uneven pad wear. Given that the 2025 test still recorded front pads as wearing thin with no corresponding disc advisory, it is reasonable to budget for an imminent front disc and pad replacement, and to confirm the present pad and disc condition directly with the seller or through an independent garage inspection before purchase. The repeated front tyre edge wear advisories across four consecutive tests warrant particular attention to the suspension and steering geometry. During the test drive, pay close attention to any knocking or clonking from the front end when traversing speed bumps or uneven surfaces, which could point to worn front suspension bushes, drop links, or top mount bearings. Steering wander or the vehicle failing to self-centre after cornering, along with uneven inner or outer shoulder wear on any newly fitted tyres, would suggest the tracking or camber settings have not been corrected and that components such as control arm bushes, ball joints, or strut assemblies may require inspection. Finally, although no corrosion advisories have been recorded to date on this chassis, it is prudent during a physical inspection to check the rear brake components, exhaust mounting, and underbody condition, as none of these areas have been specifically highlighted in the test record and their actual state cannot be confirmed from the MOT history alone.
