2021 Peugeot 2008 GT Premium EV Electricity · MF21 EWR

The most recent MOT test conducted in January 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. When evaluating the overall maintenance trend, the vehicle shows signs of improvement. The 2025 inspection highlighted several advisories regarding corrosion and pitting on all four brake discs, alongside a previous advisory for tyre wear in 2024. The transition from these multiple advisories to a clean pass in 2026 strongly suggests that the braking system has been serviced or that the components were replaced, moving the vehicle from a state of visible wear towards a more stable mechanical condition. The recorded mileage of 53,206 miles over a five-year period represents an average annual usage of approximately 10,641 miles. This is consistent with typical UK driving patterns and suggests the vehicle has been used regularly. This steady usage is beneficial for preventing the seizure of mechanical components often seen in low-mileage vehicles that sit stationary for long periods. However, at this mileage, the vehicle is approaching a stage where consumable items and suspension components will naturally begin to show signs of wear, necessitating a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and running gear. Given the history of brake disc advisories, it is imperative to confirm whether the discs and pads were actually renewed. During your test drive, pay close attention to the braking feel; any pulsation through the brake pedal or shuddering through the steering wheel may indicate warped or unevenly worn discs. You should also listen for any grinding or squealing noises from the nearside or offside rear wheels, which could signal binding calipers or worn pads. Additionally, inspect the current tread depth and condition of the tyres, looking specifically for uneven wear on the inner or outer edges, which could indicate that the suspension geometry or tracking requires adjustment. As this is an electric vehicle, your inspection should also account for specific EV-related maintenance. While the MOT does not assess the high-voltage traction battery, you should check the health of the 12V auxiliary battery, as its failure can lead to significant electronic issues. Inspect the tyres for any signs of sidewall cracking or perishing due to age, even if the tread depth appears sufficient. Finally, ensure the service history confirms that the brake fluid has been replaced according to the manufacturer's intervals, as brake fluid is hygroscopic and can absorb moisture over time, potentially compromising braking performance and leading to internal corrosion.
