2020 Peugeot 208 Allure EV Electric · CE70 WKM

The 2020 Peugeot 208 Allure EV presents a stable and clean maintenance trend, culminating in a pass at its most recent test on 23 September 2025 at 30,192 miles. Despite two recorded failures in the history, the official record lists no defects for either failure, suggesting administrative anomalies or aborted tests rather than mechanical faults. The vehicle passed its subsequent retests on the same day in both 2023 and 2025 with zero advisories or defects, indicating the structural integrity and mechanical systems remain sound. The lack of recurring faults implies a well-maintained electric drivetrain and chassis, with no worsening or persistent issues flagged by DVSA testers. The recorded mileage of 30,192 miles over six years equates to roughly 5,000 miles annually, which is notably low for its age. Between September 2023 and September 2024, the vehicle covered just 2,470 miles, but this figure rose to 6,798 miles over the following twelve months leading to the 2025 test. This recent uptick in usage suggests the owner relied on the car more heavily in the last year after a period of lighter use. Long periods of inactivity can sometimes affect tyre flat-spotting or brake surface corrosion, though the clean MOT record confirms these did not reach a failure threshold. When inspecting this electric vehicle in person, focus on components that suffer from low-mileage, intermittent use rather than high-mileage wear. Examine the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion, as regenerative braking on EVs often leads to rust accumulation that can cause binding or juddering if the car stands for extended periods. Check the tyres for uneven wear, cracking, or flat-spotting, given the low annual mileage. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, as the heavy battery pack places constant stress on these components regardless of mileage. Verify the condition of the high-voltage battery charging port and cable, alongside the 12-volt auxiliary battery, which can drain if the vehicle sits dormant for too long.
