2021 Peugeot 208 Allure Premium Puretech SS 1.2L Petrol · MA21 DHN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass in the March 27, 2026 test at 46,406 miles. The maintenance trend shows a reactive rather than proactive approach, as the most recent test initially failed due to a compromised nearside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover, alongside worn offside rear brake pads and discs. While the car now passed with no recorded defects, the history indicates that the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they trigger an MOT failure. At 46,406 miles over five years, the car has averaged approximately 9,281 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a modern hatchback. The mileage progression shows consistent use, with roughly 9,000 miles covered between the April 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 9,000 miles between April 2025 and March 2026. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stationary neglect that lead to component degradation. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The record reveals recurring issues with tyre wear and alignment, specifically a structural wall failure and exposed cords on the offside front tyre at 37,453 miles. This pattern suggests potential alignment issues or uneven driving that warrants monitoring. Furthermore, the 2026 failure regarding inner brake disc corrosion and low rear pads indicates that the rear braking assembly may be prone to moisture retention or is reaching the end of its service life. The buyer must verify that the rubber seals on the anti-roll bar linkages are now intact and free of tearing to prevent this specific point of failure from returning.
