2021 Peugeot 208 GT EV Electricity · E10 SVG

The latest MOT test on 20 December 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, suggesting the vehicle was in a roadworthy condition at the time of testing. Looking at the preceding history, the vehicle failed in November 2024 due to a faulty nearside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover, which was addressed to achieve the subsequent pass. While the most recent result is positive, the maintenance trend shows that the vehicle has required attention to its suspension components, though the current status appears to be stable. The vehicle has covered 29,969 miles over approximately five years, which averages to roughly 6,000 miles per year. This is considered low mileage for a vehicle of this age. While low mileage typically implies less mechanical strain on the motor, gearbox, and suspension, it can also indicate that the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary. This usage pattern means that while wear on moving parts may be low, the vehicle is more likely to be affected by age-related degradation of rubber, fluids, and seals rather than mileage-induced exhaustion. You must pay particular attention to the advisory regarding the offside front drive shaft joint that was noted in late 2024. Although it was not considered excessive at the time, it represents a known area of wear. During your test drive, listen carefully for any clicking or popping sounds when turning the steering wheel or accelerating from a standstill, as these are common indicators of a failing drive shaft joint. Additionally, monitor the vehicle for any vibrations through the steering wheel or floorpan, which could suggest the wear has progressed since the last inspection. Because the vehicle has been driven infrequently, you should conduct a physical inspection for signs of standing-related issues. Check the tyres for sidewall cracking or perishing, which can occur even with ample tread if the vehicle has been parked for long periods. Inspect the brake discs for heavy corrosion and check for any signs of binding calipers, which can happen when brakes are not regularly used to clear debris. Finally, verify the service history to ensure that time-based maintenance, such as brake fluid changes and cooling system checks, has been carried out, as these are essential for maintaining the structural and electrical integrity of an EV.
