2021 Peugeot 208 Allure Premium Puretech SS 1.2L Petrol · PJ21 ABU

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2026-05-11 confirms it remains roadworthy, though with clear signs of progressive wear. The trend over the past three tests shows a deterioration in braking components, with brake pads consistently flagged as "wearing thin" and discs exhibiting pitting, scoring, and corrosion—particularly at the rear. While no major failures have occurred, the recurrence of brake-related advisories suggests these systems have not been serviced at recommended intervals. The latest test also notes slight corrosion on rear brake discs, which could indicate moisture ingress or inadequate wheel arch protection. Mileage progression reveals a steady but moderate usage pattern, averaging around 9,200 miles annually since 2021. The gap between tests aligns with standard MOT intervals, though the jump from 35,895 miles in May 2024 to 42,873 miles in May 2025—a 6,978-mile increase—implies the vehicle was driven regularly without prolonged inactivity. The absence of defects in 2024 contrasts sharply with the subsequent tests, hinting at deferred maintenance between those periods. The current mileage of 46,060 miles, coupled with the latest advisories, suggests the vehicle has not undergone a full brake service since at least 2025. A buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the brake system, particularly the rear calipers and discs, given the repeated scoring and corrosion advisories. The front brake pads and discs, while not yet critically worn, show signs of uneven wear that may warrant closer examination for alignment or caliper binding. Tyre condition remains a concern—both rear tyres were flagged for cracking in 2025, and their age relative to mileage should be verified. Suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, have not been mentioned in the MOT history, but their condition should be checked for wear or fluid leaks, especially given the vehicle’s age. Structural integrity, particularly wheel arches and underbody, should also be inspected for corrosion, as brake disc corrosion may indicate broader rust risks.
