2020 Peugeot 208 GT EV Electricity · RO20 MTV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While it passed the most recent test on 31 March 2026 at 53,574 miles, it failed just one day prior due to multiple mechanical and consumable defects. The presence of slight play in the offside front inner steering linkage ball joint and a torn dust cover on the nearside front anti-roll bar indicates that suspension components are beginning to fail and were only addressed after a formal test failure. The recorded mileage of 53,574 miles over six years represents an average usage of approximately 9,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical domestic patterns for an electric vehicle. The data shows consistent progression, with roughly 6,700 miles driven between the March 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 6,700 miles covered between 2025 and early 2026. This steady accumulation suggests the car is used regularly, yet the frequency of advisories indicates the owner may be delaying maintenance on wear and rubber components. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the tyres and suspension system, as the record shows a recurring pattern of sidewall damage and uneven wear across all four corners. The nearside rear tyre was flagged as being worn close to the legal limit in two consecutive years, suggesting potential alignment issues or simple neglect of replacement. Furthermore, the 2025 test noted pitted and scored discs with thin pads on the rear axle; while these may have been replaced, the state of the braking hardware should be verified to ensure no further corrosion or binding exists. The steering linkage and anti-roll bar joints also require checking for further play to ensure the repairs following the March 2026 failure were comprehensive.
