2021 Peugeot 2008 GT Puretech S/S Auto 1.2L Petrol · LM71 KZX

The 2021 Peugeot 2008 GT PureTech S/S Auto presents a stable and generally sound mechanical picture based on its two recorded MOT entries. The most recent test, conducted on 9 October 2025 at 36,188 miles, resulted in a pass, but the tester flagged several items approaching their service limits. The maintenance trend is not worsening in a critical sense, yet it indicates a vehicle entering a phase where consumable components are actively wearing through. The advisories from the October 2025 test suggest the car is being used regularly and its braking and tyre components are seeing genuine wear, rather than sitting idle. The mileage accumulation is consistent and typical for a five-year-old vehicle. Between the first recorded test on 15 October 2024 at 27,722 miles and the most recent test on 9 October 2025 at 36,188 miles, the vehicle covered 8,466 miles in roughly twelve months. This aligns closely with the overall average of approximately 7,238 miles per year. There are no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in the recorded data that would suggest long periods of disuse or exceptionally hard use. The annual mileage pattern implies regular, steady commuting or mixed driving. The October 2025 advisories point directly to the braking system as the primary area requiring near-term attention. The tester noted that front brake pads are wearing thin on both sides and that the front brake discs are worn and lipped, though not excessively. This combination indicates the pads have been wearing down and are now likely contacting the disc lip, a common scenario when pads are not replaced promptly at the first sign of wear. A buyer should inspect the front brake discs for scoring and measure remaining pad material thickness. The rear brakes were not flagged, suggesting they remain in better condition. The nearside front outer tyre was noted as worn on its edge, which can indicate a minor alignment issue or inner wear not visible without closer inspection. The rear tyres were recorded at 3mm on both sides, with the offside showing slight outer sidewall damage. All four tyres will likely need replacement soon to meet the 1.6mm legal minimum and to address the sidewall integrity concern on the rear offside. Beyond the flagged items, the PureTech engine and its timing belt system deserve scrutiny. The 1.2-litre turbocharged unit is known for timing belt degradation if oil change intervals are not strictly observed. A buyer should verify the service history for belt and oil changes, as a failure here can cause catastrophic engine damage. The absence of any suspension or structural corrosion advisories in either test is encouraging, but a physical inspection underneath for stone chips, surface rust on subframes, and condition of suspension bushes remains wise. Overall, the car appears mechanically honest with no hidden surprises, but the front brakes and tyres represent an immediate cost a buyer should budget for.
