2021 Peugeot 2008 GT Puretech S/S 1.2L Petrol · VK71 FGO

A consistently clean MOT record across three successive tests—most recently on 17 June 2026—shows no documented mechanical failures or advisories, suggesting the vehicle has met the statutory safety and emissions standards each year it has been examined. The absence of recorded defects points to a stable roadworthiness profile, with no trend of emerging issues evident in the official history. With 13 518 miles logged since its first registration in 2021, the average annual accumulation is roughly 2 700 miles, well below the typical UK usage pattern for a five‑year‑old car. This low mileage implies limited wear on consumables such as brake pads, clutch components and tyre rubber, but it may also indicate periods of infrequent use or storage. The MOT dates—October 2024, September 2025 and June 2026—show regular annual testing without significant gaps, reinforcing that the mileage figures are up‑to‑date at each inspection. For a prospective buyer, a practical inspection should begin with the tyre condition: verify tread depth is above the legal minimum, look for uneven wear that could hint at mis‑alignment or worn suspension bushes, and feel for any vibration at higher speeds. Examine the brake system by applying the pedal firmly; it should depress smoothly without sponginess, and there should be no pulsation or grinding noises that would suggest pad wear or disc irregularities. While the MOT record shows no brake‑related defects, low‑mileage cars can still develop surface rust on discs or corrosion on caliper pins if stored for extended periods. Given the vehicle’s modest mileage and clean test history, focus the test drive on detecting any atypical noises from the suspension—such as clunks over bumps that could reveal worn bushings or deteriorated coil springs—and on assessing steering feel for pull or looseness that might indicate hidden subframe or steering rack issues. A visual inspection of under‑body panels for any signs of rust, especially around wheel arches and sills, is advisable, as prolonged inactivity can promote corrosion even when the car has not accumulated many miles. Confirm that all lights, indicators and windscreen wipers operate correctly, and ensure the battery holds charge without excessive voltage drop, as storage can affect electrolyte condition. These targeted checks will complement the clean MOT record and give a realistic picture of the car’s current mechanical state.
