2021 Peugeot 2008 GT EV Electric · S19 KTE

A pattern of recurring advisories regarding tyre wear and washer jet functionality defines the mechanical history of this vehicle, though the most recent test on 13 June 2026 shows a clean pass with no defects recorded. While the vehicle has maintained a passing status since its initial records, the presence of advisories for worn tyres on both the nearside rear in 2024 and the offside rear in 2025 suggests a trend of approaching legal limits on consumable components. The progression from a minor windscreen wiper defect in 2024 to a clean result in 2026 indicates that these specific minor issues have been addressed, though the underlying pattern of wear on tyres and suspension components warrants attention. The recorded mileage of 52,697 miles at the time of the 2026 test represents an average annual accumulation of approximately 10,539 miles. This usage profile is consistent with typical UK driving patterns for a five-year-old vehicle. Mechanically, this level of mileage suggests that while the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme high-speed motorway transit or heavy commercial use, it has covered enough distance to necessitate regular replacement of wear items such as tyres, wiper blades, and suspension linkages. The steady mileage accumulation suggests the vehicle has been in regular use rather than sitting stationary for extended periods. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the suspension and steering components, specifically following the 2024 advisory regarding slight play in the nearside front suspension arm ball joint. During a test drive, listen for any rhythmic knocking or clunking sounds when navigating uneven road surfaces or turning the steering wheel at low speeds, as these can indicate further degradation of the ball joints or suspension bushes. Additionally, given the repeated advisories for tyres being worn on the edges, it is necessary to inspect the current tread depth and look for uneven wear patterns across all four tyres. Uneven wear can be a symptom of incorrect wheel alignment or camber issues that may require professional adjustment. The history of weak or partially blocked washer jets should also be verified to ensure the cleaning system is fully operational and providing adequate fluid coverage to the windscreen. While the 2026 MOT report indicates no current defects, the previous issues with washer jets and wiper blades suggest these are components that require functional verification. Ensure that the fluid spray is consistent and that the wiper blades do not chatter or skip across the glass, as these are the primary indicators of the component health flagged in previous inspections.
