2020 Peugeot 2008 GT Puretech S/S Auto 1.2L Petrol · WR20 AAX

The Peugeot 2008 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 May 2025 at 7,129 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across three consecutive annual examinations. The mileage pattern shows exceptionally light use for a six-year-old vehicle. From the 15 May 2023 test at 4,880 miles, the car covered only 923 miles to the 13 May 2024 test at 5,803 miles, then 1,326 miles to the May 2025 test. This averages roughly 1,188 miles per year. The DVSA record contains no gaps, fails, or advisories of any kind, which indicates the previous keeper maintained statutory testing discipline even under minimal driving conditions. Such low annual mileage combined with long standing periods carries specific risks not captured by a clean MOT sheet. Brake discs and calipers are prone to surface corrosion and binding when the car sits unused for weeks at a time. Tyres can develop flat spots and perishable rubber components including suspension bushes degrade through age rather than wear. The PureTech engine's wet timing belt demands replacement on a time basis regardless of miles covered. A buyer should commission an independent inspection before purchase. The technician should measure brake disc run-out, check caliper slide freedom, and confirm the timing belt service history against Peugeot's age-based schedule. Examine suspension bushes for cracking and verify tyre manufacture dates. The official record shows no structural or mechanical faults, but the low-use profile means visual and road-test verification remains essential.
