2022 Peugeot 208 GT EV Electricity · C3 OCM

The most recent MOT, carried out on 3 December 2025, resulted in a full pass with no recorded defects or advisories. With only a single MOT entry available, it is not possible to identify a trend of deterioration or improvement; however, the clean result does indicate that, at the time of testing, the vehicle met all statutory safety and emissions requirements and that any routine maintenance undertaken up to that point was sufficient to keep the car road‑worthy. At just 11,445 miles on the odometer, the 2022 Peugeot 208 GT EV averages roughly 2,860 miles per year, which is considerably below the typical UK average of 7‑10 000 miles annually. Such low utilisation often points to either predominantly urban, short‑distance driving or periods of extended storage. For an electric vehicle, limited mileage can be beneficial for wear items such as brakes and suspension, but prolonged inactivity can lead to battery ageing if the state of charge has not been maintained within the optimal window, and can also encourage tyre sidewall cracking and corrosion on suspension bushings that are not regularly exercised. When inspecting the car, give particular attention to the condition of the tyres. Even with modest mileage, tyres older than four years may have suffered from ozone and UV exposure, leading to dry‑rot or sidewall cracking; check for any tread irregularities, bulges, or hard spots that could indicate perishing rubber. Examine the wheel rims for corrosion or damage, and verify that the tyre pressures hold steady when the vehicle is stationary for a short period. Because the EV’s regenerative braking reduces conventional brake wear, the brake discs and pads may appear relatively fresh, but it is still advisable to look for any surface rust on the discs, especially if the car has been stored outdoors, and to ensure the calipers move freely without binding or uneven pad wear. Finally, assess the high‑voltage battery and associated cooling system. Request a recent battery health report from the dealer or a qualified EV specialist, confirming that the state‑of‑charge has been kept within the manufacturer’s recommended range and that the capacity remains close to the original specification. Inspect the coolant reservoir for correct level and any signs of contamination, as the thermal management system is critical for maintaining battery performance. Verify that the 12 V auxiliary battery terminals are clean and that the battery holds a charge, as a weak 12 V source can affect electronic systems. A review of the service booklet for any time‑based fluid changes, software updates, and the presence of a valid warranty will further reassure a buyer that the vehicle has been looked after despite its low mileage.
