2020 Peugeot 2008 GT Line EV Electricity · EX70 DPE

The most recent MOT test conducted on 2nd December 2025 resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. Reviewing the inspection history from 2023 through to the end of 2025, the vehicle has demonstrated a consistently stable maintenance trend, passing every test without any noted mechanical or structural failures. This consistent record suggests that the vehicle has been well-maintained or has not been subjected to the heavy usage patterns that typically lead to frequent MOT failures in areas such as exhaust emissions, braking efficiency, or suspension integrity. The recorded mileage of 34,649 miles indicates an average annual usage of approximately 5,775 miles, which is notably low for a vehicle of this age. While low mileage is often viewed as a positive attribute as it implies less mechanical stress on the drivetrain and suspension components, it can also indicate that the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary. In such cases, mechanical wear is often replaced by age-related degradation, meaning that components may fail due to time and environmental exposure rather than the physical distance travelled. Because the MOT history is clean and the mileage is low, your physical inspection should prioritise checking for age-related perishing and corrosion. Closely examine the tyres for sidewall cracking or perishing, as low-mileage vehicles often require new tyres due to rubber degradation before the tread is actually worn. Check the brake discs for excessive surface corrosion or pitting, which can occur from standing, and listen for any signs of binding calipers or unusual noises from the braking system during your test drive. It is also essential to confirm that the service history includes time-based maintenance, such as brake fluid replacements, as these fluids absorb moisture over time regardless of mileage. Additionally, you should pay particular attention to the 12V auxiliary battery and the overall health of the electrical systems, as low-usage electric vehicles can sometimes suffer from battery degradation if they are not regularly driven. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for any signs of perished rubber or uneven settling that might suggest long periods of inactivity. Finally, verify that the service book contains stamps for scheduled maintenance, ensuring that the vehicle has received the necessary manufacturer-recommended checks for an electric powertrain, including any critical software updates or coolant system inspections.
