2020 Peugeot 2008 Allure Puretech S/S 1.2L Petrol · SD70 ABN

The 1.2-litre PureTech petrol unit typically returns around 45-50 mpg in mixed driving, depending on conditions and driving style. Road tax for this Euro 6 petrol model is likely to fall in the £150-£170 bracket per year under current VED rules for cars registered after April 2017 costing more than £40,000 new — though the 2008 Allure trim is generally below that threshold so the standard rate around £190-£200 may not apply. Insurance for the Peugeot 2008 usually sits in groups 14-19, meaning a typical premium of £400-£600 annually for an experienced driver. Maintenance costs are reasonable for the class, but budget £300-£500 annually for routine servicing and consumables such as brake discs, pads and tyres. Estimated annual running cost is around £1,200-£1,500 including fuel, tax, insurance and maintenance.

The MOT history consistently shows rear brake disc wear, which suggests the discs on this vehicle may be made of a softer material or have been subjected to regular stop-start driving — both rear discs and pads should be physically inspected for thickness, lipping and hot spots. The 2025 advisory regarding all tyres cracking or perishing is worth careful examination; check the DOT date codes on the sidewalls and look for uneven shoulder wear which can indicate alignment issues. Cold-start the engine and listen for any rattle from the timing chain area, and check the oil level and condition on the dipstick — discoloured oil or a mayonnaise-like residue under the filler cap can suggest head gasket or short-trip usage concerns. Finally, verify that the tyre pressure monitoring system warning has been rectified, as a persistent TPMS light can indicate sensor faults costing around £50-£80 per corner to replace.
