2022 Peugeot 208 GT Puretech S/S Auto 1.2L Petrol · RV22 ACF

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 23 December 2025. While the overall history is relatively clean, the maintenance trend shows a slight decline from the previous flawless test in April 2025. The introduction of advisories concerning the front tyres and brake discs indicates that the vehicle is entering a phase where initial factory consumables are beginning to wear, requiring closer attention to the chassis and braking system. With a recorded mileage of 13,778 miles over approximately four years, this Peugeot has been used significantly less than the national average, averaging roughly 3,444 miles per year. While low mileage generally suggests less mechanical wear on the engine and gearbox, it often introduces specific risks associated with prolonged periods of standing. Low usage vehicles are more susceptible to the degradation of rubber components and the accumulation of surface corrosion on braking surfaces. Regarding the specific advisories, the nearside front tyre shows wear on the outer edge and sidewall scrubbing, which may indicate a misalignment of the steering geometry or previous impact with a kerb. During a test drive, the buyer should check for any pulling to one side or unusual vibration through the steering wheel. The noted lip on the front brake discs is a sign of natural wear, but given the low mileage, the buyer should ensure the brakes feel progressive and free from shudder, as calipers can occasionally bind or seize when a vehicle is not driven frequently. Beyond the MOT records, the low annual mileage necessitates a thorough physical inspection of time-sensitive components. The buyer should examine all tyre sidewalls for fine cracking or perishing, regardless of tread depth, and verify the health of the 12V battery, as stop-start systems are particularly demanding and batteries can degrade during inactivity. It is also critical to review the service history to ensure oil and filter changes have been performed based on the manufacturer's calendar intervals rather than mileage alone, as engine oil degrades over time regardless of distance travelled.
