2020 Peugeot 2008 GT Line EV Electricity · LS70 HVP

The most recent MOT test conducted on 27 September 2025 resulted in a pass, with only a minor defect noted regarding a defective nearside windscreen wiper blade. Evaluating the overall maintenance trend, the vehicle appears to be maintained to a stable standard, although the history shows a recurring advisory regarding the condition of the brake discs in previous years. While the most recent inspection did not carry over the advisories for pitted or scored discs seen in 2023 and 2024, the history suggests that the braking system has been a point of ongoing attention that may have required recent intervention or replacement to meet passing standards. With 33,661 miles recorded over approximately six years, the vehicle has covered an average of roughly 5,610 miles per year. This is significantly lower than the UK national average, indicating light usage. While low mileage typically suggests less wear on the electric motor, suspension, and drivetrain, it carries specific risks associated with infrequent use. Vehicles that spend long periods stationary can suffer from moisture accumulation in the braking system, leading to the corrosion and pitting noted in the previous MOT advisories, and may also experience faster degradation of rubber components and fluids due to age and time rather than distance travelled. During your test drive, you should pay particular attention to the braking system to ensure the previous issues with pitted or scored discs have been fully resolved. Listen for any grinding or squealing noises when braking and feel for any vibration through the brake pedal or steering wheel, which could indicate warped discs or binding calipers. Given the low mileage, it is also essential to inspect the tyres for signs of age-related perishing, such as sidewall cracking or a hardened, glazed tread surface, even if the tread depth appears sufficient. Check the suspension for any unusual clunks or knocks when navigating uneven surfaces, as low-use vehicles can sometimes experience seized components or perished bushes. Finally, as this is an electric vehicle, you should confirm that the 12V auxiliary battery and the main high-voltage battery have been monitored according to the manufacturer's schedule, as infrequent charging cycles can impact long-term health. Verify the service history for evidence of time-based maintenance, such as brake fluid changes and coolant inspections, which are critical for vehicles that cover low annual distances. Ensure that all exterior trim and rubber seals are in good condition, as the lack of regular movement can sometimes lead to the hardening of seals and increased susceptibility to moisture ingress.
