2022 Peugeot 2008 GT Puretech S/S Auto 1.2L Petrol · PB51 AND

The most recent MOT test completed on 21 February 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Reviewing the testing history from September 2024 through to early 2026, the vehicle demonstrates a highly stable and consistent maintenance trend. There is no evidence of recurring failures or previous advisories in the official DVSA records, which indicates that the vehicle's essential safety components, including its lighting, braking systems, and structural integrity, have been maintained to a high standard during its initial years of operation. The recorded mileage of 24,915 miles for a four-year-old vehicle represents an average annual usage of approximately 6,229 miles. This is considered low-to-moderate mileage, which is generally advantageous for the longevity of major mechanical components such as the engine, turbocharger, and transmission. However, this level of usage implies that the vehicle may have experienced periods of standing or infrequent use. While this reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain, it necessitates a more thorough inspection of components that are susceptible to age-related degradation rather than just mileage-based attrition. As the MOT history is clean, your physical inspection should focus on the effects of time and infrequent movement. Closely examine the tyres for any signs of perishing or sidewall cracking, as rubber can degrade and lose its grip even if the tread depth remains high. You should also inspect the brake discs for excessive corrosion or pitting, which can occur if the vehicle has been stationary for long periods, and check for any signs of binding calipers that could lead to uneven wear or overheating. It is also prudent to verify the service book to ensure that interval-based maintenance, such as oil changes and fluid replacements, has been carried out according to the calendar rather than just the odometer. Finally, pay close attention to the condition of the 12V battery, as low-usage vehicles are frequently subject to slow discharge and reduced battery health. During the test drive, listen for any unusual clunks or knocks from the suspension, as rubber bushes can sometimes harden or crack when not regularly exercised. Check for any signs of fluid weeping from the engine bay or under the chassis, as seals can occasionally dry out when a vehicle is not driven regularly. Ensuring that all electronic systems and the automatic transmission shift smoothly will confirm that the low mileage has not resulted in any stagnation-related issues.
