2022 Peugeot 2008 Allure Premium EV Electric · YA22 OUH

A fully electric Peugeot 2008 from 2022 has so far produced a notably clean DVSA roadworthiness record, with two MOT tests logged to date and no advisories or failures recorded against either. The most recent test on 7 August 2026 was a pass with no defects, and the previous examination on 21 August 2025 also passed without any items flagged. While a relatively short testing history of just two consecutive passes offers only a narrow window into the vehicle's long-term mechanical condition, the absence of any recorded advisories, corrosion concerns, or component wear items at this stage is a positive starting point for any prospective buyer. It should be borne in mind that MOT testing does not cover the high-voltage traction battery, electric drive units, or charging system, so the cleanliness of the record relates solely to the conventional items inspected under the DVSA regime. With 24,406 miles recorded on a 2022 vehicle, the average annual mileage works out at roughly 6,100 miles per year, which sits broadly in line with typical usage for a car of this age and type. Electric vehicles in particular often accumulate lower mileages than their petrol or diesel counterparts, frequently being used for shorter, urban-based journeys with home or workplace charging. From a mechanical standpoint, lower mileage generally means reduced wear on friction components such as brake discs and pads, because regenerative braking handles much of the deceleration and the hydraulic brakes are used less frequently. The trade-off with predominantly low-speed urban use can be accelerated wear on suspension bushes and tyres due to the vehicle's weight, and the MOT history here does not yet cover items such as these beyond the standard test thresholds. There are no significant mileage gaps or sudden jumps between tests that would suggest inconsistent use or extended periods off the road. Because this is an all-electric variant, several areas warrant particular attention on a physical inspection and test drive that the MOT history cannot fully address. The conventional braking system should still be exercised periodically, so on a test drive the buyer should listen for any binding caliper symptoms, scraping noises, or uneven pedal feel that might suggest the discs have corroded slightly from underuse, particularly after periods of wet weather. Tyres should be inspected for uneven shoulder wear, which can be common on heavier EVs, and the steering should feel precise without any pulling or knocking from the front suspension over uneven surfaces. The charging port, cable, and any warning messages on the infotainment display relating to the high-voltage battery or thermal management should be checked, as the MOT does not cover these elements. Given the absence of any advisories in the recorded tests, there are no specific component failures or wear patterns to investigate further from the DVSA data alone. The buyer should however confirm the remaining life of the 12V auxiliary battery, the condition of the charging cable and any Type 2 connector supplied with the vehicle, and whether the manufacturer's EV-specific service schedule has been followed, as this typically covers items such as coolant renewal for the thermal management system, brake fluid checks, and cabin filter replacement. A pre-purchase inspection by a workshop experienced with electric Peugeot models would be advisable to assess the state of health of the traction battery, which is not examinable under the MOT test. Overall, the recorded roadworthiness history presents a clean baseline, but the broader mechanical evaluation of an EV requires checks that fall outside the scope of the MOT records provided.
