2020 Peugeot 2008 Allure EV Electric · LO70 JZA

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward developing mechanical neglect. In the most recent test conducted on January 2026 at 52,644 miles, the tester identified slight play in the nearside lower suspension arm ball joint and an underinflated offside front tyre. While the vehicle passed the test, the appearance of suspension-related wear suggests that basic pre-MOT checks are not being performed rigorously by the owner. The mileage pattern is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,774 miles per year. The record shows a steady progression with 11,866 miles covered between the February 2024 and January 2025 tests, followed by a higher-intensity period of use where 15,011 miles were clocked in the following fourteen months. This regularity indicates the car is used for regular commuting rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which generally helps prevent premature degradation of rubber components and brake seizing in electric models. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry to determine if the ball joint play flagged in 2026 is isolated or indicative of wider wear across the bushes and linkages. The previous failure for washer fluid in 2024 and the defective wiper blade in 2025 highlight a reactive rather than proactive maintenance style. Given the electric powertrain, the focus should remain on checking for uneven tyre wear, as the recent advisory regarding low tyre pressure can accelerate damage to the offside front tyre if left unaddressed.
