2022 Peugeot 2008 GT Puretech S/S Auto 1.2L Petrol · LL71 YAD

The latest MOT test conducted in January 2026 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. While the vehicle has a history of a serious failure in early 2025, the subsequent clean passes indicate that the previously identified dangerous faults were addressed. The maintenance trend appears to be moving in a positive direction, suggesting that the critical issues involving the rear braking system and tyre legality have been resolved. With a recorded mileage of 37,444 miles over approximately four years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 9,361 miles per year. This represents a standard level of annual usage for this class of vehicle, avoiding the extremes of excessive high-mileage wear or the potential mechanical stagnation associated with very low-mileage usage. This consistent usage pattern is generally beneficial for the health of the PureTech engine and the overall integrity of the automatic transmission and suspension components. Although the most recent test was clear, the previous failure regarding a seriously weakened rear brake disc and insufficient tyre tread depth requires careful scrutiny. During your test drive, pay close attention to the braking performance; any shuddering through the pedal or a pulling sensation to one side could indicate that the rear calipers are binding or that the replacement discs have not been bedded in correctly. You should also inspect the rear brake assembly for any signs of uneven pad wear or excessive corrosion on the mounting surfaces. Ensure the nearside rear tyre and its counterparts have adequate tread depth and show no signs of uneven wear, which could point to underlying suspension or alignment issues. Given the previous advisory regarding a tyre light, verify that the tyre pressure monitoring system is functioning correctly and that all tyres are inflated to the manufacturer's specification. At four years of age, you should also check for any signs of tyre sidewall perishing or cracking, particularly if the vehicle has been parked outdoors. Beyond the mechanical components, confirm that the service history is up to date, specifically regarding the replacement of brake fluid and engine oil, as these are critical for maintaining the reliability of the braking and powertrain systems.
