2020 Peugeot 2008 GT Line EV Electricity · WM70 CSX

The most recent DVSA MOT test, conducted on 16 December 2025, returned a PASS with no advisories or defects recorded, and this clean outcome is consistent with the two preceding tests in December 2024 and December 2023, which also passed without recorded defects. Three consecutive pass results with no advisories indicate a stable and well-maintained mechanical condition at the point of each annual inspection, suggesting that the vehicle has not presented any components approaching the legal minimum or flagging thresholds during the statutory testing window. While the absence of recorded advisories is reassuring, it should be noted that MOT testing is a roadworthiness snapshot rather than a comprehensive mechanical health check, so a clean record does not preclude the existence of wear items that remain within legal tolerance but may still warrant attention from a buyer. The recorded mileage of 54,876 miles over approximately six years equates to an annual average of around 9,146 miles, which is broadly typical for a vehicle of this age and segment. This level of usage implies regular operation rather than extended periods of standing, which is generally favourable for an electric powertrain as it supports consistent battery cycling and avoids prolonged inactivity that can degrade high-voltage battery conditioning and 12V auxiliary battery health. The relatively even annual mileage distribution inferred from the consistent year-on-year MOT pattern suggests the vehicle has been in steady service, mitigating concerns about calendar-based degradation of brake components through disuse or irregular thermal cycling of mechanical systems. Given that this is a 2020 EV now over six years old, several age-related inspection points merit particular attention irrespective of the clean MOT record. On a physical inspection, the tyres should be examined closely for sidewall perishing and cracking caused by age rather than solely by tread wear, as rubber compounds deteriorate over time even on lightly used vehicles; check the manufacturing date on the sidewall and confirm all four tyres are of matching age and specification. Examine the alloy wheels and underbody for signs of standing corrosion, particularly around suspension arms, subframes, and exposed steel components, and pay close attention to the condition of the high-voltage charging port and cable for any signs of damage, corrosion, or wear. The 12V auxiliary battery, which supports the vehicle's control systems, should be tested for state of health as these typically require replacement on a calendar basis of around five to six years, and the main traction battery state of health should be verified through the diagnostic menu or a specialist EV health check to confirm capacity retention relative to original specification. On a test drive, particular attention should be paid to the regenerative braking system and feel of the friction brakes, as EVs that rely heavily on regen can suffer from corroded or seized rear brake calipers and glazed discs due to limited mechanical brake use, leading to uneven braking feel or pulling under heavy pedal application. Listen for any suspension knocks or clonks over uneven surfaces, which could indicate worn bushes, drop links, or coil springs, particularly given the EV's additional battery mass placing sustained load on the underpinnings. Verify the operation of the climate control system, infotainment, and driver assistance functions for any warning messages or fault codes, and confirm that the charging system initiates correctly on both AC and DC sources. Finally, ensure that the cabin and pollen filters have been serviced in line with manufacturer intervals and that any software updates issued by Peugeot have been applied, as EV functionality and battery management logic are frequently refined through over-the-air or dealership updates.
