2022 Peugeot 208 Allure Premium EV Electric · NL22 GGJ

The most recent DVSA MOT test for this 2022 Peugeot 208 Allure Premium EV was conducted on 23 March 2026, at which point the vehicle passed with no defects or advisories recorded. The previous test on 14 March 2025 also resulted in a clean pass with no recorded defects, advisories, or minor issues. With two consecutive passes and an absence of any flagged items, the official roadworthiness record indicates a stable and well-maintained condition. The lack of advisories suggests that no components were noted as being close to failure limits at the time of testing, which is a positive indicator for a prospective buyer. There is no evidence in the MOT history of any recurring problem areas, such as suspension wear, brake issues, or lighting defects, which can sometimes appear in the history of vehicles of this age. With 24,322 miles recorded over approximately four years, this 208 has covered an average of around 6,080 miles annually, which is broadly typical for a privately used vehicle of this type and age. There are no unusual gaps or sudden jumps in the recorded mileage between tests that would suggest long periods of standing or inconsistent usage. The mileage pattern implies a reasonable level of regular use, which is mechanically beneficial for an electric vehicle because the high-voltage battery, 12V auxiliary battery, and drivetrain components all benefit from consistent operation rather than prolonged inactivity. This is a more favourable usage profile than very low-mileage examples, which can suffer from brake disc corrosion, sticking calipers, and tyre degradation caused by standing. Given the clean MOT history, the buyer guidance should focus on age and mileage-appropriate physical checks rather than addressing any specific flagged defects. The tyres should be inspected carefully for both tread depth and, more importantly given the relatively low annual mileage, for sidewall perishing or cracking from age, as rubber compounds deteriorate over time regardless of wear. Even if the tread appears adequate, tyres fitted in 2022 may be approaching the point where replacement is advisable. The brake discs and calipers should be examined for any signs of corrosion or binding, particularly if the vehicle has seen periods of light use, and a test drive should include several firm brake applications to confirm straight-line stopping without shudder or pulling. The condition of the 12V auxiliary battery, which is responsible for ancillary systems in an EV, should also be verified, as these can fail without warning after four years. Finally, attention should be given to time-based servicing items that the MOT test does not cover. Brake fluid should be replaced according to manufacturer schedules regardless of mileage, as it is hygroscopic and degrades over time, potentially affecting braking performance and the effectiveness of the regenerative braking system. The coolant circuit for the high-voltage battery and electric motor should be checked for fluid condition and any signs of leaks, and the cabin pollen filter inspected for replacement. A pre-purchase inspection at a Peugeot dealer or EV specialist would be prudent to confirm the state of health of the traction battery using diagnostic equipment, as this is the most significant component in terms of long-term cost and is not assessed during an MOT. Verifying that the vehicle has a complete main dealer or specialist service history, with records of any software updates issued by Peugeot, would further support confidence in the vehicle's ongoing condition.
