2021 Peugeot 208 GT EV Electricity · BW70 KTC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward reactive repairs. Following two years of clean MOT records in 2024 and 2025, the car failed its recent January 2026 test at 33,587 miles. The tester identified worn front upper anti-roll bar ball joint dust covers and pitted brake discs, though the vehicle passed a retest in February 2026 at 33,619 miles. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles annually. There is a clear progression of 11,164 miles between January 2024 and January 2025, followed by another 2,973 miles leading into the early 2026 failure. This steady accumulation suggests the car is not subjected to extreme stress, yet the sudden appearance of mechanical wear at 33,000 miles indicates that certain components are reaching the end of their service life regardless of the low total mileage. A buyer should personally inspect the front suspension to ensure the anti-roll bar ball joints were properly replaced and that no further play exists in the steering geometry. The report of pitted and scored brake discs on both front and rear axles suggests the vehicle may have sat for long periods or operated in a corrosive environment, leading to surface oxidation. Verify the current thickness of the brake pads and check for any binding calipers to ensure the February pass was not a temporary fix for underlying hardware issues.
