2023 Peugeot 2008 GT EV Electric · LM23 KMX

The vehicle most recently underwent its DVSA MOT test on 11 February 2026, passing with no defects or advisories recorded against it. A single clean pass after only three years on the road is broadly reassuring, but it is worth noting that this represents a very limited history from which to draw strong conclusions about a long-term maintenance trend. The absence of any prior advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has not yet reached a service or wear threshold that would typically flag components such as brake friction material, tyres, or suspension components, which is consistent with its relatively modest accumulated mileage. For the prospective buyer, the clean test outcome should be treated as a baseline positive indicator rather than a comprehensive guarantee of mechanical condition, particularly given that MOT testing does not assess the high-voltage traction battery, software integrity, or internal combustion of an electric powertrain in the same depth as it does for petrol or diesel vehicles. With 21,952 miles recorded over an approximate three-year period, this Peugeot 2008 GT EV has averaged around 7,317 miles per year, which sits comfortably within the typical usage range for a privately owned or lightly fleet-operated vehicle of this age. This mileage profile indicates regular but not exhaustive use, which is generally favourable for an electric vehicle because it implies a reasonable number of charge cycles have been completed, helping to condition the high-voltage battery rather than allowing it to sit at a high state of charge for prolonged periods. There is no evidence in the records of any significant mileage gaps or unusually rapid accumulation that might suggest inconsistent use, missed services, or extended periods of standing. The annualised figure should nevertheless prompt the buyer to consider the calendar age of consumables that degrade with time rather than mileage, as several components on a low-mileage three-year-old electric crossover will still require attention purely on the basis of elapsed time. Given the clean MOT record and modest mileage, the prospective buyer should focus their pre-purchase inspection on time-sensitive wear items and condition-based checks rather than relying on the MOT certificate alone. Tyres should be examined closely for sidewall perishing or cracking from age, as rubber compounds deteriorate with UV exposure regardless of tread depth, and the spare or inflation kit should be verified for serviceability. The 12-volt auxiliary battery, which powers ancillary systems and is independent of the traction pack, is a known failure point on modern vehicles after three to four years and warrants a voltage or load test. Brake discs and calipers should be physically inspected for surface corrosion or evidence of seizing, as the regenerative braking system on an EV does relatively little work through the friction brakes, meaning the calipers can bind or the discs can develop rust lips from infrequent use. All fluid systems, including brake fluid (which is hygroscopic and typically requires replacement every two years regardless of mileage), coolant, and screen wash, should be confirmed as within service intervals, and the vehicle history should be cross-referenced with Peugeot dealer or specialist service stamps to confirm that the high-voltage battery health check and cabin filter have been attended to. On a test drive, particular attention should be paid to any warning messages relating to range, battery state of health, or driver assistance systems, as these can indicate software anomalies or degradation in the high-voltage pack. Listen for any clunks or knocks from the suspension over speed humps and uneven surfaces, which would suggest worn bushes, drop links, or top mounts, and check for uneven tyre wear that might point to geometry issues or damper wear. The steering should feel precise and free of vibration, and the regenerative braking should deliver consistent and predictable deceleration without any juddering or inconsistent pedal feel. Finally, confirm that the charging cable is present and functional, that the infotainment and climate control systems operate without fault codes, and that the vehicle's built-in telematics or app connectivity is paired correctly, as these features are integral to the ownership experience of a modern electric Peugeot and any malfunction could indicate underlying electrical or software concerns not captured within the standard MOT framework.
