2021 Peugeot 208 GT Puretech S/S Auto 1.2L Petrol · WP71 HEU

A pattern of consistent roadworthiness is evident through the vehicle's recent testing history, characterized by a clean pass on 17 November 2025 following a single minor failure. The failure recorded during that same session was limited to the offside headlamp aim being too high, a non-mechanical adjustment issue that was rectified to achieve a pass with no further defects or advisories noted. This suggests a stable compliance record over the last two years of recorded testing. The vehicle exhibits an unusually low mileage profile for its age, having covered only 14,496 miles over approximately five years. This averages to roughly 2,899 miles per year, which is significantly below the UK national average. While lower mileage typically implies less wear on mechanical components such as the drivetrain and suspension, such infrequent usage can sometimes result in components being used primarily for short trips, which may affect the condition of the exhaust system or battery health due to limited operating temperatures and charging cycles. Given the absence of recorded advisories regarding structural integrity, braking systems, or suspension components, the mechanical focus should remain on the specific failure noted in the 2025 test. Although the headlamp aim was resolved, a prospective buyer should verify that the headlamp unit itself is secure and that there is no excessive play in the adjustment mechanisms. During a test drive, ensure the beam pattern remains stable and does not flicker or shift when encountering road vibrations, which could indicate a loose mounting or an issue with the electrical connection. Because the mileage is low, the vehicle has not been subjected to high-frequency wear on consumables like brake discs or tyres, but the lack of regular long-distance driving warrants a close inspection of the braking system for any signs of uneven wear or sticking calipers. Listen for any unusual noises from the suspension bushes or coil springs when navigating uneven surfaces, as infrequent use can occasionally lead to rubber components perishing or seizing. Check that the automatic transmission engages smoothly without hesitation, as low-mileage vehicles used for short journeys may not have had the benefit of regular heat cycles.
