During takeoff roll no 2 ENG EGT was just below limitation. At rotation EGT exceeded limitation. EGT temperature was 975 Celsius. Requested priority handling. Continued departure and cleanup. Performed ECAM actions and follow ups. Returned to ZZZ runway XYC. Overweight landing at 193.4 lbs. Landed and stopped on the runway. Taxied to [the gate].The engine was written up with the same problem and priority 2 days earlier. Maintenance performed a engine run up and bore check but did not have the airplane flown. Flying the airplane would had been a more prudent and accurate test that would had most likely given the same result as we experienced. The change in the AOA during rotation is when the engine exceeded EGT temperature limitation.Put the aircraft in a more realistic and accurate situation that would produce actual information for maintenance to make a greater determination of airworthiness.
Pilot reported an air turn back after engine exhaust gas temperature exceeded limits.
