2020 Peugeot 208 GT EV Electricity · CO20 CAL

The 2026‑02‑04 MOT at 32,178 miles resulted in a pass, confirming that the vehicle met the DVSA’s roadworthiness criteria at that point. However, the repeated tyre defects – edge wear on both front tyres, a sidewall cut on the offside rear tyre, and a damaged sidewall on the nearside rear tyre – indicate a worsening maintenance trend rather than stability. Mileage has risen from 22,379 miles recorded on 12 January 2024 to 32,178 miles by 4 February 2026, an increase of 9,800 miles over roughly two years, or about 4,900 miles per year. The 2025‑02‑06 failure at 27,472 miles shows a 5,093‑mile jump in the preceding year, while the 2026 test adds another 4,706 miles, confirming a steady but not excessive accumulation that is typical for a low‑usage vehicle. A buyer should therefore prioritize a physical inspection of the tyre condition, checking tread depth, sidewall integrity and the functionality of the tyre pressure monitoring system, as the recurring edge wear and cuts suggest possible alignment or suspension problems. Examination of the suspension bushes, ball joints and mounting points is advisable, as repeated tyre failures often accompany worn components. The brake discs and pads should be assessed for wear and any binding calipers, and the chassis should be inspected for structural rust, especially around the wheel arches and underbody. Finally, while the electric drivetrain is unlikely to show wear in an MOT, the presence of a child seat that restricts adult belt inspection in earlier tests suggests the interior may have been altered; a visual check of the seat mounting and seat‑belt anchorage points is prudent. Overall, the vehicle is presently roadworthy, but the pattern of tyre neglect points to underlying mechanical issues that merit close scrutiny before purchase.
