2022 Peugeot 208 GT Puretech S/S 1.2L Petrol · LL71 ACO

This Peugeot 208 GT PureTech demonstrates a stable roadworthiness profile, with both MOT tests—conducted on 3 March 2026 and 9 January 2025—resulting in clean passes at 2,788 and 1,761 miles respectively. No defects or advisories were recorded in either instance, indicating the vehicle has not encountered recurring mechanical or structural issues during official testing. The most recent test, just under five months ago, aligns with current UK MOT regulations, though the low mileage suggests limited real-world wear. The absence of advisories or failings across both tests implies the previous owner adhered to basic maintenance, though this does not preclude hidden wear from prolonged periods of inactivity. The recorded mileage of 2,788 miles over approximately four years—roughly 697 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, particularly given its urban-oriented specification. The gap between tests, spanning 14 months with minimal mileage accumulation, raises questions about whether the car was regularly driven or stored. Such low usage could lead to accelerated degradation of fluids, seals, and suspension components due to lack of motion. The sudden jump from 1,761 to 2,788 miles between tests also suggests inconsistent driving patterns, which may correlate with deferred servicing or neglect of routine checks. Given the sparse MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise an inspection of suspension integrity, particularly the condition of coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, as prolonged standing can compromise these elements. The brakes, while not flagged in tests, warrant scrutiny for binding calipers or uneven wear—common in low-mileage vehicles with infrequent use. Tyres, though not tested beyond tread depth, should be examined for uneven wear or signs of prolonged storage damage, such as dry-rotting or embedded debris. Finally, the engine bay and underbody should be checked for corrosion, especially around the exhaust system and wheel arches, as moisture accumulation during storage can accelerate rust formation.
