2021 Peugeot 2008 GT EV Electric · LM21 ADX

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-05-30 resulted in a rare double entry—one pass and one immediate fail at identical mileage—before passing again without recorded defects. This anomaly suggests either a procedural error in the MOT system or a brief, isolated oversight in test coverage, as no defects were logged. Beyond this, the 2024 test at 20,933 miles showed no issues, indicating a stable roadworthiness trend over the past two years. The absence of advisories or recurring faults implies that major components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or binding calipers have not been compromised. However, the double MOT entry warrants confirmation that the vehicle was not driven between tests, as this could indicate a test centre error or a deliberate attempt to bypass inspection. The recorded mileage of 43,075 miles over roughly five years equates to an average of 8,615 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age and model. There are no significant gaps or spikes in mileage between tests, though the 2024 to 2025 interval (22,142 miles in just over a year) suggests consistent use. The lack of advisories or partial failures in prior tests further supports that the vehicle has not experienced accelerated wear on critical systems. That said, the double MOT entry at the same mileage is unusual and may hint at either a temporary administrative issue or a brief period of non-use before the second test. Given the sparse MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear items not explicitly covered by the test. Focus on the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs, particularly for perishing or excessive play, as these are often overlooked in basic MOT checks. The brakes, while not flagged in the record, should be tested for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been driven hard. Additionally, check for corrosion around wheel arches and sills, as the 2008’s bodywork is susceptible to rust progression over time. The absence of advisories does not guarantee these areas are flawless, so visual and functional inspection is essential.
