2021 Peugeot 2008 Allure Puretech S/S Auto 1.2L Petrol · SH21 EYG

The 2021 Peugeot 2008 Allure PureTech S/S Auto presents a stable but consumable-heavy maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT conducted on 14 April 2026 at 70,620 miles resulting in a pass. That test flagged both rear tyres worn close to the legal limit, the nearside at 3mm and the offside at 2mm, indicating the vehicle is currently running on rubber that requires imminent replacement. The pattern across the record shows no structural or safety-critical failures, but a recurring focus on tyre wear and minor braking component degradation that suggests routine servicing has been adequate rather than proactive. The mileage accumulation of roughly 14,124 miles per year is high for a five-year-old vehicle, and the intervals between tests reveal a notable jump. Between the April 2024 test at 38,278 miles and the April 2025 test at 55,288 miles, the car covered approximately 17,010 miles in a single year, a significant acceleration compared to the earlier period of around 17,010 miles over the prior year. This sustained high annual mileage places elevated stress on consumable components, particularly tyres, brake discs, and suspension bushes, which aligns with the repeated tyre advisories and the 2024 advisory for a front brake disc worn, pitted, or scored. A buyer should inspect the rear tyre sidewalls and tread depth carefully before purchase, as the April 2026 advisory at 2mm on the offside rear leaves very little margin before the vehicle would fail a retest. The front brake disc advisory from April 2024 at 38,278 miles was not repeated in subsequent tests, suggesting the disc may have been replaced or worn within acceptable limits, but a physical inspection of both front and rear brake discs and pads remains prudent given the mileage intensity. Suspension components, particularly rear trailing arm bushes and front lower arm bushes, deserve close examination as high-mileage Peugeot platforms of this generation are known to develop play in these areas, which can manifest as vague steering or uneven tyre wear. Beyond the flagged items, the vehicle's structural integrity appears sound with no corrosion or emissions advisories recorded across the three tests. The PureTech turbocharged petrol engine and EAT8 automatic gearbox have not generated any recorded mechanical advisories, though a test drive under load is essential to confirm smooth gear changes and absence of turbo wastegate rattle or chain stretch, which are known concerns on high-mileage PureTech units. Overall, the record reflects a mechanically sound vehicle that has been driven hard but maintained to a passable standard, with tyre replacement the most immediate expense facing a new owner.
