2020 Peugeot 208 GT EV Electric · FN70 RYO

The 2020 PEUGEOT 208 GT EV currently presents a stable and improving mechanical trend, culminating in a clean pass on 3 July 2025 at 15,264 miles. The MOT record shows no defects recorded for this most recent test, nor for the preceding pass on 17 July 2024 at 11,511 miles. While the vehicle technically failed its tests on 1 July 2025 and 17 May 2023, the official record notes no defects recorded for either of these failures, suggesting administrative or minor procedural issues rather than significant mechanical faults. The absence of any recorded advisories or failures across the documented history indicates a vehicle free from ongoing mechanical deterioration. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,544 miles per year. Between the May 2023 test at 6,449 miles and the July 2024 test at 11,511 miles, the car covered 5,062 miles in approximately fourteen months. The subsequent year saw a sharp drop in usage, with only 3,753 miles added between July 2024 and July 2025. This declining annual mileage suggests the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary. Prolonged inactivity can cause specific issues not always captured in a standard MOT, such as seized brake calipers from surface corrosion, flat-spotted tyres, or degraded rubber suspension bushes. Despite the flawless MOT record, a buyer must physically inspect components susceptible to low-mileage deterioration. Check the brake discs for surface rust and the calipers for binding, as infrequent use often leads to corrosion rather than wear. Examine the tyre sidewalls for cracking and flat-spotting, which occur when an electric vehicle sits stationary for long durations. Pay close attention to the suspension bushes and anti-roll bar links, as rubber perishes with age regardless of mileage. Inspect the high-voltage battery charging port and cabling for secure connections and moisture ingress. The 12-volt auxiliary battery also warrants testing, as EVs rely heavily on this component for system readiness and can suffer from deep discharge during prolonged parking.
