2021 Peugeot 2008 GT Premium EV Electric · WP71 GDV

The most recent MOT test on November 24, 2025, confirms the Peugeot 2008 GT Premium EV remains roadworthy with no defects recorded at 15,299 miles. This reflects a stable maintenance trend over the past year, as the previous test on November 8, 2024, also passed without failings at 7,053 miles. The absence of advisories or recurring issues suggests the vehicle has been kept in good condition, though the lack of intermediate servicing records means critical fluid changes and wear items may not have been systematically addressed. The clean MOT history does not indicate any mechanical or structural concerns, but the buyer must verify the actual condition of high-wear components beyond the test’s scope. The recorded mileage of 15,299 miles over five years—approximately 3,060 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, particularly given the electric powertrain’s typically lower maintenance demands. The gap between tests (15,246 miles in a year) aligns with the MOT’s 12-month interval, but the overall low usage raises questions about whether the car has been stored, lightly used, or subject to extended periods of inactivity. Such low mileage can mask potential issues like degraded suspension bushes, seized wheel bearings, or corrosion in underbody components, as these degrade over time regardless of distance travelled. The lack of intermediate servicing records further complicates assessment, as fluid contamination or brake wear could have progressed silently. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should be the suspension system, including coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, for signs of dry rot or excessive play. The brakes—though not flagged—should be scrutinised for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the discs and pads, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for prolonged periods. The electric drivetrain’s battery health cannot be verified from the MOT alone, so a professional check of range, charging efficiency, and cooling system integrity is essential. Finally, inspect the underbody for corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and exhaust mounts, as low mileage does not preclude structural degradation from environmental exposure.
