Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2021 Peugeot 2008 GT Premium Puretech S/s A?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

How are tyres and brakes typically on a 2021 Peugeot 2008 GT Premium Puretech S/s A?

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.
