2023 Peugeot 208 GT Puretech S/S 1.2L Petrol · NV23 LSE

A high annual mileage profile defines this vehicle's history, with its first MOT cycle in May 2026 resulting in an initial failure for minor equipment defects before achieving a pass. The failure was limited to ineffective windscreen wipers and incorrect headlamp aim, both of which are common consumable or adjustment issues. The recorded mileage of 49,274 miles represents a significant annual accumulation of approximately 16,425 miles, which is high for a vehicle of this age. This level of usage typically accelerates the wear of drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems compared to lower-mileage examples. Attention should be directed to the nearside rear tyre, which was flagged as an advisory for being close to the legal limit at 1.7mm with specific edge wear. During a physical inspection, examine the tread depth across all tyres to ensure consistent wear and check for any signs of misalignment, such as uneven scrubbing on the inner or outer shoulders. While the windscreen wiper and headlamp aim failures were rectified for the pass, verifying the current effectiveness of the wiper blades and the correct beam pattern of the headlights is advisable. Given the high mileage, the test drive should focus on the integrity of the suspension and steering. Listen for any knocks or clunks when traversing uneven road surfaces, which could indicate premature wear of the suspension bushes or links. Additionally, monitor for any steering pull or vibration at motorway speeds, as the accelerated mileage increases the likelihood of wear in the steering rack or wheel bearings.
