2021 Peugeot 2008 GT Puretech S/S 1.2L Petrol · SJ21 BOT

The vehicle presents a sound roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT on 12 November 2025 at 17,297 miles, where it passed with zero defects. The maintenance trend is clearly improving. The previous test on 11 November 2025, just 24 hours earlier at 17,296 miles, had failed on four separate items, yet all were rectified immediately for the retest. This pattern indicates a reactive but effective repair approach rather than a chronic neglect of the vehicle's mechanical condition. At roughly five years old, the recorded mileage of 17,297 miles equates to an average annual covering of approximately 3,459 miles, which is notably low. The MOT record shows a gap of over one year between the September 2024 pass at 13,433 miles and the November 2025 tests at 17,296 to 17,297 miles. During that interval, the odometer advanced by 3,864 miles, suggesting a modest increase in usage after a period of very light duty or possible standing. The low overall mileage implies reduced wear on consumables and drivetrain components, though prolonged inactivity can introduce its own concerns around seized brakes, perished rubber bushes, and flat-spotted tyres. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension components. The November 2025 failure flagged excessively worn nearside and offside front suspension arm ball joints, a critical wear item that directly affects steering precision and structural integrity. While these were replaced for the pass, verifying the condition of the new joints and any associated track rod ends is sensible. The simultaneous failure of the tyre pressure monitoring system also warrants a diagnostic scan to confirm the sensor or module fault has not recurred. Beyond the flagged items, a thorough underbody inspection for corrosion is advisable given the vehicle's age, even at low mileage. Examine the condition of brake discs and pads for surface rust or binding, which can develop on cars that stand for extended periods. Check the exhaust emissions system and catalytic converter efficiency, as short-trip driving at low annual mileages can accelerate carbon build-up and compromise long-term combustion health.
