2022 Peugeot 2008 GT Premium EV Electric · MD22 GHV

This Peugeot 2008 GT Premium EV demonstrates a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT test on 16 July 2025—just under a year ago—with no defects recorded at 25,267 miles. The absence of advisories or failings in the single available test suggests the vehicle has not experienced any recurring mechanical or structural issues requiring attention. While the MOT history is limited to one entry, the clean pass indicates compliance with basic safety and emissions standards at the time of testing. However, the lack of prior tests means there is no historical context to assess whether earlier maintenance was consistent or if any latent issues may have been overlooked. The recorded mileage of 25,267 miles over approximately four years—roughly 6,300 miles annually—falls within the expected range for a vehicle of this age, though it is on the lower end of typical usage. This suggests the car has either been used for light-to-moderate daily commuting or may have spent extended periods stored. Without intermediate MOTs or service records, it is impossible to confirm whether the vehicle was regularly maintained during this period. The gap between the current date (July 2026) and the last MOT test means the vehicle is now overdue for another inspection, which is standard practice every 12 months for cars under three years old. Buyers should prioritise verifying whether the vehicle has been serviced in line with the manufacturer’s schedule, particularly for electric-specific components like battery health and high-voltage system integrity. Given the sparse MOT history, an in-person inspection should focus on critical wear items that are not always captured in a standard test. The brakes, despite no recorded failings, should be examined for uneven pad wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the discs—common issues in lower-mileage vehicles that may have been deferred. The suspension components, including coil springs, bushes, and dampers, warrant close scrutiny, as these are often neglected in lightly used cars. Electric vehicles also require attention to the battery’s state of charge and any visible signs of thermal management system efficiency, particularly if the car has been stored for prolonged periods. Structural integrity, especially around wheel arches and sills, should be checked for corrosion, as electric vehicles can retain moisture in their underbody systems. Finally, the tester’s failure to note any advisories in the last MOT does not preclude the possibility of hidden issues such as worn steering rack seals or degraded suspension mounts, which may not have been visible at the time of testing.
