2021 Peugeot 2008 Allure Puretech S/S Auto 1.2L Petrol · WD21 GYR

The 2021 Peugeot 2008 Allure PureTech S/S Auto presents a stable and consistently clean roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT, conducted on 22 May 2026 at 42,591 miles, passed with zero defects recorded. This marks three consecutive flawless annual tests, indicating no recurring mechanical faults or emerging deterioration trends. The maintenance trajectory is stable and improving in the sense that no advisories or failures have materialised at any point during the vehicle's life on record. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent and typical for a five-year-old vehicle. Between the May 2024 test at 25,159 miles and the May 2025 test at 34,549 miles, the vehicle covered 9,390 miles in twelve months. The following year, from May 2025 to May 2026, it added 8,042 miles, bringing the total to 42,591. This equates to roughly 8,500 miles per annum, squarely within normal usage parameters for a petrol automatic in this age bracket. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in accumulation that would suggest long periods of disuse or clocking concerns. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection. The PureTech 1.2-litre turbocharged three-cylinder engine has known susceptibility to wet belt degradation, where the timing belt deteriorates prematurely due to oil contamination, potentially causing catastrophic valve damage. No MOT test directly assesses this internal condition. Inspect the engine for any rattling or irregular idling on cold start, and verify whether the cambelt has been replaced proactively, as Peugeot's extended service intervals on this unit are widely considered too long by independent specialists. The vehicle's age and mileage warrant a close check of the front and rear suspension bushes, drop links, and coil springs for perishing or corrosion, particularly if the car has spent time in coastal or salted-road environments. Examine the brake discs and pads for uneven wear, and confirm the electronic parking brake mechanism operates smoothly, as binding calipers are a noted concern on this platform. Inspect the underside for any structural corrosion around the subframe mounting points and sill edges. Tyre condition should also be verified, as the MOT only mandates a minimum tread depth and does not assess age-related sidewall cracking on a vehicle approaching its sixth year.
