2022 Peugeot 208 Allure Premium EV Electric · RF22 AAY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on June 19, 2026. The maintenance trend shows an improving pattern, although the most recent test initially required immediate attention to safety equipment. The car failed the test on that same day due to critical tyre damage, specifically an offside front tyre with exposed cords and a deep cut on the nearside front tyre. This indicates that the previous owner was responsive enough to rectify safety-critical defects once identified by the tester. At 33,315 miles over four years, the car has averaged approximately 8,300 miles per year. This aligns with typical annual usage patterns for a modern EV. The interval between the June 2025 test at 25,931 miles and the June 2026 test shows a consistent accumulation of 7,384 miles. This steady mileage suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing, which generally reduces the risk of mechanical seizures in the electric drivetrain or suspension components. A buyer should pay close attention to the rear braking system during a physical inspection. The June 2025 test flagged a binding offside rear brake caliper along with thin pads and a pitted, scored disc. While these issues were noted as not serious, the presence of binding suggests the caliper piston may be beginning to seize or is corroded. Inspect for uneven wear on the current brake pads and ensure the rear assembly was properly serviced or replaced following that advisory. The history also reveals a recurring issue with tyre management. The 2025 record noted both front tyres were worn to the legal limit and on the outer edges, which led directly to the 2026 failure for structural damage. This pattern suggests a potential wheel alignment issue or neglect regarding tyre pressure maintenance. You should verify the current tread wear patterns across all tyres to ensure the suspension is not causing premature degradation of the rubber.
