2022 Peugeot 208 Allure Premium Puretech SS 1.2L Petrol · WU22 VTG

The most recent MOT test conducted on 21 April 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a successful test in April 2025, which also showed no defects. This consistent history indicates a very stable maintenance trend, suggesting that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets all essential safety and environmental requirements without any recorded failures in structural integrity, braking efficiency, or lighting. With a recorded mileage of 31,683 miles over approximately four years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 7,921 miles per year. This level of usage is considered typical for a modern passenger car and represents a balanced driving profile. It avoids the excessive mechanical wear on consumables like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake pads that comes with high mileage, while also avoiding the potential issues associated with very low usage, such as component seizure or fluid stagnation. This mileage suggests the vehicle has likely seen regular, moderate use. As the MOT history is entirely clean, the inspection should focus on age-related degradation rather than wear-induced defects. You should carefully examine the tyres for any signs of perishing or sidewall cracking, which can occur due to age and environmental exposure even if the tread depth remains sufficient. During the test drive, listen for any clunks or knocks from the suspension, which could indicate worn bushes or dampers, and check for any brake shudder or pulsation that might suggest warped discs or binding calipers. Furthermore, verify the service history to ensure that time-based maintenance has been carried out. Even with moderate mileage, fluids such as engine oil, coolant, and brake fluid should be changed according to the manufacturer's intervals to prevent degradation. Inspect the 12V battery for signs of age and ensure the electrical systems are functioning correctly. Finally, check the underside of the vehicle for any signs of fluid leaks or early-stage corrosion, particularly around the exhaust system and suspension mounting points, to ensure the vehicle's long-term roadworthiness.
