2020 Peugeot 208 Allure EV Electric · WV20 ANP

A consistently clean MOT record, punctuated only by tyre‑wear advisories, defines this 2020 Peugeot 208 Allure EV’s mechanical story. The vehicle passed its latest test on 13 February 2026, with the sole comment noting the nearside front tyre approaching the legal tread limit, while earlier advisories in March 2023 highlighted a rear tyre tread of roughly 3 mm. No failures have ever been recorded, indicating that the core systems—brakes, suspension, steering, emissions and structural components—have met the required standards throughout the six‑year period. With 27 990 miles logged over roughly six years, the average annual accumulation sits at about 4 700 miles, well below the typical UK usage rate for a small hatchback. The MOT history shows regular annual testing with no significant gaps, suggesting a steady, moderate level of use rather than prolonged storage. Low mileage generally translates to reduced wear on brake pads, suspension bushings and drivetrain components, yet the tyre‑wear notes imply that the tyres have experienced more abrasion than mileage alone would predict, possibly due to driving style, tyre pressure or alignment factors. Prospective buyers should give the tyre set immediate attention. Verify the tread depth on all four tyres—front nearside is likely at or below the 3 mm threshold and the rear tyre is already close to the minimum legal depth. Inspect the sidewalls for cuts, bulges or uneven wear patterns that could signal mis‑alignment, worn suspension bushes or damaged steering components. On a test drive, feel for any vibration through the steering wheel at 50‑70 mph, listen for humming or scraping that might indicate tyre‑related issues, and note any pull to one side when the steering wheel is centred, which would warrant a professional alignment check. Although the MOT has not flagged any faults beyond the tyres, an EV still benefits from a focused inspection of its high‑voltage system and charging equipment. Confirm that the on‑board charger, charge port and associated cables operate without error codes, and watch for any warning lights on the instrument cluster. While the brakes and suspension have passed inspection, a brief road‑test should include a check for consistent pedal feel, absence of judder when applying the brakes, and a quiet, stable ride over bumps—any clunk, squeal or pull could reveal wear not yet captured by MOT testing.
