2019 Peugeot 2008 Allure Prem Puretech S/S 1.2L Petrol · YY69 KHH

This PureTech-equipped Peugeot 2008 presents a clean and reassuring DVSA roadworthiness record, with four consecutive MOT passes and not a single advisory, minor defect, or failure logged across the documented testing history. The most recent examination on 23 January 2026 returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing the unbroken pattern of clean tests stretching back to November 2022 and earlier entries in 2024 and 2025. The absence of any flagged items covering the suspension, braking, exhaust, lighting, or structural integrity categories suggests the vehicle has not yet developed the corrosion, component wear, or service-induced issues that typically surface on a small SUV once it passes the five-year threshold. For a prospective buyer, this represents an unusually tidy MOT profile that removes much of the usual guesswork around underlying mechanical condition. Against an age of approximately seven years, the recorded mileage of 72,358 miles equates to an annual accumulation of around 10,337 miles, which sits comfortably within the expected range for a privately used family crossover of this type. The gap between the November 2022 test and the January 2024 test is the only notable interval in the record, but the mileage progression between subsequent tests appears consistent with regular road use rather than long periods of standing. This pattern matters mechanically because a vehicle driven steadily throughout the year is far less likely to suffer from the dried seals, seized callipers, perished rubber components, and flat-spotted tyres that afflict cars left idle for extended stretches. Equally, the mileage is not so high as to suggest excessive wear on the clutch, turbo, or drivetrain components, which is particularly relevant given the known sensitivities of the PureTech petrol engines to oil consumption and timing belt integrity at higher mileages. For a test drive, focus your attention on the areas that commonly generate advisories on PureTech 2008s once they enter higher-mileage territory. Listen carefully on start-up for any timing chain rattle from the front of the engine, which can present as a metallic chatter that disappears after a few seconds, and monitor the oil level on the dipstick before and after the drive to check for the consumption issues that have been widely reported on this engine family. During the road portion of the evaluation, pay close attention to the operation of the EAT6 automatic or manual gearbox, ensuring that gear selection is smooth and that there is no hesitation or judder under light throttle, as these can be early indicators of clutch or mechatronic wear. Given that no brake, suspension, or underbody corrosion issues have been recorded, the test drive should still include a deliberate check of these systems. Apply the brakes firmly from around 30 mph to feel for any pull to one side, vibration through the pedal, or grinding that could indicate warped discs or binding callipers, particularly after the car has been driven for some distance. Over speed humps and uneven surfaces, listen for any knocking, creaking, or clonking from the front suspension, which on this model typically points to worn anti-roll bar links, drop link bushes, or front strut top mounts. Finally, with the engine idling from cold, observe the exhaust for any excessive vapour or distinct blue smoke, and check the underside of the engine bay for signs of oil weep from the cam cover or turbo oil lines, as these are the most likely sources of future MOT advisories once the vehicle begins to accumulate further mileage.
