2020 Peugeot 208 Allure Puretech S/S 1.2L Petrol · WF20 KOU

A pattern of tyre degradation and an unusual interior configuration define the recent roadworthiness profile of this vehicle. While the record shows a consistent pass rate, including the most recent test on 23 July 2026, the emergence of sidewall cracking and perishing on both front tyres suggests a shift from the previously clean results seen in 2023 and 2025. The latest inspection also flagged the absence of rear passenger seating, which represents a significant deviation from the standard vehicle specification. The recorded mileage of 14,192 miles over approximately six years indicates a very low annual accumulation rate of roughly 2,365 miles. This usage pattern typically implies the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary. Mechanically, this is reflected in the 2026 advisory for perishing tyres, as rubber components often degrade through age and lack of heat cycles rather than through frictional wear. Inspection should focus heavily on the condition of the tyres and the interior layout. The recurring advisories regarding the front tyres, moving from a minor cut in 2024 to general perishing and sidewall damage in 2026, necessitate a close physical examination of the rubber for deep cracks or bulges. During a test drive, listen for any unusual road noise or feel for vibrations through the steering wheel that could indicate compromised tyre integrity. The reported missing rear passenger seats require immediate verification to determine if the vehicle has been converted for commercial use or if components have been removed. Ensure that any remaining interior fixings are secure and that the vehicle's current configuration matches the buyer's requirements. Beyond the tyres and interior, the lack of suspension or brake advisories across four tests suggests a stable mechanical baseline, though the low mileage makes a check for binding brake calipers a prudent step.
