2022 Peugeot 208 GT EV Electric · LL72 XOC

The most recent MOT, carried out on 25 October 2025, resulted in a full pass with no recorded defects or advisories. With only a single MOT entry in the history, there is no evidence of a deteriorating trend; the vehicle appears to have been maintained to a standard that satisfies the statutory safety and emissions requirements at the time of testing. At just under 11 000 miles after four years of ownership, the Peugeot 208 GT EV averages roughly 2 700 miles per annum, which is considerably below the typical UK usage pattern for a small hatchback. Such low annual mileage often points to periods of limited use or extended storage, rather than intensive daily driving. Consequently, wear on high‑frequency components such as tyres, brake pads and discs, and suspension bushings is likely to be minimal, but the vehicle may have been subjected to the effects of age rather than mileage‑related fatigue. Given the low‑mileage, time‑based nature of many wear items, a prospective buyer should focus on age‑related checks. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for cracking, dry rot or hardening, as rubber can degrade even when tread depth remains acceptable. Examine the wheel arches and under‑body for any signs of corrosion, particularly around the battery mounting points and suspension mounting brackets, as prolonged standing can encourage rust formation. Verify the condition of the 12‑volt auxiliary battery and the high‑voltage traction battery; a healthy state‑of‑charge, low internal resistance and a recent service record or diagnostic readout from a qualified EV technician are essential to confirm that capacity has not been compromised by long periods of inactivity. Finally, assess the braking system for any uneven pad wear, disc surface corrosion, or signs of sticking calipers, which can develop when a vehicle sits for extended periods. Listen for any unusual noises such as squeal or grinding during a short test drive, and feel for any pull or vibration when applying the brakes. Confirm that the coolant and brake fluid have been replaced in accordance with the manufacturer’s calendar schedule, as fluids can absorb moisture over time and lose effectiveness. A thorough visual inspection of the electric powertrain wiring, connector integrity, and the operation of regenerative braking will also help ensure that the vehicle’s EV-specific systems remain in sound condition before purchase.
