Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2019 Peugeot 2008 GT Line Puretech S/s?

The 2019 Peugeot 2008 GT Line PureTech is a reliable performer, passing its MOT on the first attempt 88.8% of the time — notably 8.8 percentage points above the UK average. The 13% dangerous defect rate is reassuring and well below the concern threshold, suggesting this petrol model has no hidden structural or safety weaknesses.

At just over 25,500 miles median mileage, these cars are relatively lightly used for their age, which partly explains the strong pass rate. The average of 0.56 failures per vehicle is impressively low, though the 4.2 advisories per test suggest minor wear items (wipers, battery, brake pads) crop up regularly — standard maintenance costs rather than anything alarming. Before buying, run a pre-purchase inspection focused on air-con function and suspension bushings, as these tend to be the first areas to show wear on this generation.

The 2019 Peugeot 2008 GT Line Puretech S/s passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (89.6% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.

⚠️ Around 1 in 8 of these vehicles have had a dangerous MOT failure at some point — usually tyres or brakes, and often a one-off issue rather than a persistent problem. The group stats won't tell you which one you're looking at.

For context

✅ Good baseline reliability. A 89.6% first-time pass rate puts this well above the UK average — it's a well-sorted vehicle in this age bracket.

🔧 Expect consumable spend. An average of 4.2 advisories per vehicle tells you wear items (tyres, brakes) get flagged regularly. Budget for them — they're not surprises.

🔍 The dangerous defect figure is real. Most are one-off tyre failures or brake issues — not structural problems. But it's exactly why checking the individual vehicle's history is essential, not optional.

These stats describe 848 vehicles as a group. The specific vehicle you're looking at could be the one good example or the one outlier. Run its registration to find out.
