2020 Peugeot 2008 Allure Puretech S/S 1.2L Petrol · SD20 FKY

The vehicle presents a stable and improving mechanical trajectory, culminating in a completely clean pass on 27 February 2026 at 43,507 miles. The tester recorded zero defects on the most recent certificate, demonstrating current compliance with UK roadworthiness standards. Recurring issues flagged in mid-2023 have since been rectified, indicating the previous owner addressed the immediate failures. The maintenance trend is resolving, moving from a period of flagged wear to a fully defect-free status. Accumulating 43,507 miles over six years yields an average of roughly 7,251 miles per year, a typical figure for this model. The MOT records show consistent annual testing without notable gaps. Between the March 2024 test at 34,083 miles and the February 2025 test at 38,569 miles, the vehicle covered 4,486 miles. The subsequent year saw a similar accumulation of 4,938 miles, reaching 43,507 miles by February 2026. This steady, low-mileage pattern suggests light use, likely involving short urban trips rather than long motorway journeys. Such driving habits often result in disproportionate wear on consumables like brake discs and tyres due to moisture ingress and corrosion from standing. Despite the clean 2026 result, the March 2024 test at 34,083 miles flagged worn and pitted front and rear brake discs alongside thin front brake pads. Pitting on brake discs frequently stems from corrosion rather than friction wear, a common issue on vehicles used for short runs. A buyer should inspect the current condition of the braking system for lipping, surface rust, and disc thickness variation. The low annual mileage may have allowed surface corrosion to form between MOT intervals, potentially compromising braking efficiency despite the recent pass. The June 2023 failure at 29,422 miles highlighted both front tyres worn to the legal limit and exhibiting edge wear, coupled with cuts not reaching the cords. Edge wear hints at potential suspension geometry misalignment or worn suspension bushes. A physical inspection of the front suspension components, tracking, and coil springs remains prudent. While the tyres were evidently replaced after the 2023 failure, verifying the current tyre condition and alignment will ensure the underlying geometry does not persist.
