2020 Peugeot 2008 GT Line EV Electricity · LM70 ADX

A recurring pattern of tyre-related failures and advisories defines the recent mechanical history of this vehicle, specifically regarding tread depth and uneven wear. While the most recent test on 15 July 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects, this follows a failure on 03 February 2026 due to both front tyres being below the legal 1.6mm limit, alongside advisories for the rear tyres being worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edges. This sequence suggests a recent period where consumable tyre components reached the end of their service life, though the subsequent pass indicates these issues were addressed prior to the July inspection. The recorded mileage of 39,472 miles over approximately six years equates to an annual average of roughly 6,579 miles, which represents a relatively low usage profile for a vehicle of this age. This level of accumulation suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to high-intensity motorway use, which typically results in higher annual mileage. Mechanically, this lower usage pattern often means less cumulative wear on heavy drivetrain components and suspension linkages, but it can also correlate with the tyre issues observed, as vehicles driven fewer miles may experience more frequent tyre replacements due to age or specific driving patterns rather than sheer distance. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the tyre wear patterns noted in the February 2026 records, specifically the mention of tyres being worn on the edges. This specific advisory can be an indicator of underlying geometry issues, such as incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes and steering components. During a test drive, it is essential to check for any steering pull to one side, particularly when releasing the steering wheel on a level surface, or any vibration through the steering wheel at varying speeds. Any unevenness in the steering feel or a tendency for the car to wander could suggest that the cause of the edge wear has not been fully rectified. In addition to checking alignment symptoms, a physical inspection of the current tyre tread should be conducted to ensure the replacement tyres are of an appropriate quality and have been fitted correctly. While the MOT record is currently clear of other mechanical defects, the recent focus on tyre legality means the buyer should verify that the suspension system is functioning smoothly. Listen for any knocking or clunking noises when driving over speed bumps or uneven road surfaces, as these sounds can indicate worn suspension components that may have contributed to the uneven tyre wear previously flagged by the DVSA.
