2022 Peugeot 2008 GT EV Electricity · PO71 FLF

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 18 March 2026 at 55,421 miles, but two brake-related advisories were recorded: a worn and pitted nearside rear brake disc and a binding nearside rear service brake. These are not failures, but they indicate developing wear that has persisted since the previous test and shows no sign of resolution. The maintenance trend is worsening, not stabilising. The car has accumulated 55,421 miles in just over four years, averaging 13,855 miles annually—significantly above the typical usage for a small electric SUV. This high annual mileage suggests consistent use rather than intermittent driving, which increases the likelihood of accelerated wear on brake components, suspension, and the drivetrain. There are no gaps in the MOT record, confirming continuous testing, but the rapid mileage accumulation means consumables like brake discs and pads are under greater stress than usual for its age. A buyer must inspect the rear brake system in detail, particularly the nearside disc and caliper. The binding issue suggests the caliper piston or slide pins may be corroded or sticking, which can lead to uneven wear, overheating, and reduced braking efficiency. The pitting on the disc indicates moisture exposure or lack of regular use, which is unusual for a vehicle with this mileage and raises questions about storage or driving conditions. The suspension and wheel bearings should also be checked for abnormal noise or play, as high-mileage EVs often show early wear in these areas due to heavier battery weight. Any signs of corrosion on brake lines, suspension mounts, or underbody components should be treated as critical, especially given the disc’s inner face condition.
