2022 Peugeot 208 GT Premium EV

CarHunch analysed 1,526 real MOT records for the 2022 Peugeot 208 GT Premium EV. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2022 Peugeot 208 GT Premium EV passes its MOT first time in nearly 90% of cases, well ahead of the UK average of 80%, and dangerous defects are rare at just 3.8% of vehicles—this is a genuinely reliable electric car by the numbers. At an average mileage of 20,343 miles for a two-year-old model, these cars are running right at expected levels, and the low failure rate of 0.13 per vehicle tells you there's very little that actually breaks.

The real story is in the advisories: at 0.8 per vehicle, owners are getting flagged for minor wear items rather than serious problems, which is typical for an EV with fewer moving parts than a petrol car. If you're considering one, check the battery health documentation (MOT doesn't test it directly) and budget for tyre replacements, as electric weight causes faster wear.

What to check before buying a 2022 Peugeot 208 GT Premium EV

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
