2022 Peugeot 2008 Allure Premium EV Electric · OV22 KSO

The most recent DVSA MOT test for this 2022 Peugeot 2008 Allure Premium EV was conducted on 24 April 2026 and resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating that at the point of test the vehicle met all statutory roadworthiness requirements. The prior interaction with the MOT process on 6 May 2025 is worth examining in context, as the vehicle was initially failed on that date due to a nearside front windscreen wiper failing to clear the windscreen effectively, alongside a minor defect on the offside wiper blade and an advisory noting rear brake disc wear, pitting, or scoring. This was followed by a pass on the same date once the wiper issue was rectified, suggesting a prompt remedial response by the previous keeper. Overall, the maintenance trend appears broadly stable rather than deteriorating; the wiper defects were minor and have not reappeared, and the brake disc advisory was isolated to the rear axle. There is no recurring pattern of structural or safety-critical concerns, which is reassuring for a prospective buyer. The recorded mileage of 44,360 miles over an approximate four-year ownership period equates to an average of around 11,090 miles per year, which is broadly typical for a vehicle of this age and consistent with regular mixed-use driving. There are no significant gaps or unexpected jumps in the recorded mileage to suggest inconsistent usage, prolonged standing periods, or odometer irregularities. This steady accumulation indicates that the consumable components such as tyres, brake pads, and suspension bushes will have experienced moderate but even wear, rather than being subject to the extremes of either heavy motorway mileage or extended inactivity. For an EV of this generation, the relatively conventional annual mileage also implies that the high-voltage battery and associated thermal management system will have been exercised regularly, which is beneficial for long-term battery health and state of retention. Although the rear brake discs were flagged with surface pitting and scoring at the 2025 test, this is a common condition caused by light or intermittent use, corrosion forming on the friction surface during low-effort braking episodes, and is not unusual on an EV that benefits from regenerative deceleration, reducing the workload on the mechanical friction brakes. On a test drive, the buyer should listen for any brake shudder or pulsation through the pedal when coming to a stop from higher speeds, and check for uneven tyre wear which could indicate a binding caliper allowing a brake to drag. Given the mileage and the year of the advisory, the rear discs may be approaching the point where they will require either machining or replacement at the next service, particularly if the surface corrosion has progressed to lipping or measurable runout. It would be prudent to have the discs measured for thickness and checked for hot spots or cracking around the outer edge. Beyond the recorded items, a prospective buyer should carry out a number of practical age-and-mileage-appropriate checks. Tyres should be inspected for both tread depth and, more importantly for a 2022 vehicle, for sidewall perishing or cracking from age, as rubber degrades with calendar exposure regardless of mileage. The 12V auxiliary battery, which supports ancillary systems on an EV, should be tested for state of health, as these typically require replacement every four to five years. Brake fluid should be confirmed as within its two-year replacement cycle, and the coolant for the high-voltage battery thermal management system should be checked for condition and level. It is also worth verifying that the cabin filter has been changed, that the charging cable and port show no signs of damage or corrosion, and that the service book or digital service history records corroborate the mileage and confirm that any diagnostic software updates specific to the Peugeot e-2008 have been applied.
