2021 Peugeot 2008 GT Premium EV Electricity · OG61 EEG

The most recent MOT carried out on 2 March 2026 returned a pass with no recorded defects, following a similar clean result at the October 2025 test. The only non‑defect entry in the three‑year history is an advisory from the September 2024 test noting an off‑side rear nail in the tyre. Overall the maintenance trend appears stable, with the vehicle consistently meeting the statutory requirements and no progressive failures emerging over the last two inspections. At 47,101 miles the 2021 Peugeot 2008 GT Premium EV averages just under 9,500 miles per annum, which sits comfortably within the typical usage envelope for a five‑year‑old small SUV. There are no obvious gaps in the recorded mileage that would suggest prolonged periods of inactivity, nor any spikes that would indicate unusually aggressive driving. Consequently the wear on consumables such as tyres, brake discs and suspension components should be commensurate with a moderate‑use vehicle of this age. The advisory concerning the off‑side rear nail should be addressed before any further use. A visual inspection of the tyre is required to confirm whether the nail has been removed or if the tyre has been repaired; any remaining foreign object can lead to a slow leak, heat build‑up and eventual tread delamination. During a test drive listen for a faint hiss of air loss, feel for a pull or vibration when cornering, and check the tyre pressure against the manufacturer’s specification. If the tyre shows signs of internal damage or excessive wear around the puncture site, replacement is advisable rather than a simple patch, as the structural integrity of an EV tyre is critical for handling the higher torque output. Beyond the tyre, a prospective buyer should verify the health of the high‑voltage battery by requesting a recent state‑of‑charge and capacity report from a qualified service centre, and ensure that the on‑board charger and charging cable are free from corrosion or wear. Although regenerative braking reduces conventional brake wear, the front discs and pads should still be inspected for thickness, glazing or uneven scoring, and the rear drum (if fitted) checked for excessive rust. The suspension bushes, coil springs and anti‑roll bar links should be examined for any play or cracking, especially given the vehicle’s age. Finally, confirm that the service book contains regular oil‑coolant changes for the electric motor’s thermal system, that the 12 V auxiliary battery is delivering a healthy cranking voltage, and that the bodywork shows no hidden rust in the wheel arches or undercarriage that could compromise structural integrity. A thorough visual and road‑test appraisal covering these points will give a clear picture of the car’s roadworthiness and future maintenance needs.
