2021 Peugeot 2008 GT EV Electric · LL70 TOH

The latest MOT test conducted on 31 March 2026 resulted in a pass, following an initial failure related to a non-functional nearside front windscreen washer. When reviewing the broader maintenance trend, there is a noticeable pattern of minor neglect regarding visibility components, as the 2025 inspection also identified issues with the washer liquid delivery and wiper blade effectiveness. While the vehicle has maintained a passing status, the transition from clean MOT records in 2024 and 2025 to the current advisories regarding tyre wear suggests a shift toward more pressing consumable maintenance requirements. The overall maintenance trend is currently moving toward a period of increased expenditure on wear-and-tear items. With 47,684 miles recorded over approximately five years, the vehicle has covered an average of roughly 9,537 miles per year. This represents a typical usage profile for a modern vehicle, indicating consistent regular use rather than extreme mileage or long periods of inactivity. For an electric vehicle, this level of mileage is moderate and suggests that the high-voltage battery and drivetrain components should remain in a healthy state, provided they have been maintained. However, the consistent usage means that mechanical components such as suspension bushes, steering linkages, and braking systems are subject to standard age-related degradation and should be closely monitored. A primary area of concern for a prospective buyer is the advisory regarding tyre wear on the front and offside rear. The fact that the front tyres are worn specifically on the edges is a strong indicator of potential wheel alignment issues or worn suspension components. During your test drive, you should listen for any rhythmic humming or thumping sounds from the tyres and check for any pulling to one side when the steering is momentarily relaxed on a flat road. I recommend inspecting the suspension bushes and coil springs for any signs of damage or excessive movement, as uneven tyre wear is often a symptom of compromised geometry or worn-out suspension elements. Additionally, given the history of failures regarding the windscreen washer and wiper system, you must verify that the washer jets provide a strong, directed spray and that the wiper blades clear the glass without streaking or juddering. Although the vehicle is an electric model, you should still inspect the brake discs for any signs of heavy corrosion or binding calipers, which can occur if the vehicle has been stationary for periods. Finally, check the tyre sidewalls for any signs of perishing or cracking due to age, and ensure that the service history confirms that time-based maintenance, such as brake fluid replacement and cooling system checks, has been carried out in accordance with the manufacturer's schedule.
