2024 — 2026
115kW Electric Motor (51kWh battery)
Electric
Plug into a Type 2 AC charger to verify the revised On-Board Charger (OBC) initializes correctly. While Peugeot upgraded the hardware in this facelift to address early failures, checking for 'Charging Fault' warnings remains essential for NZ imported units.
Test the heat pump climate control system through all temperature ranges. Confirm rapid cabin heating and demisting within 60 seconds to ensure the upgraded thermal management loop and compressor are operating without fault.
Perform an OBD2 diagnostic scan to check traction battery cell balance and SoH. The newer 51kWh pack uses improved chemistry, but verification is critical to ensure expected real-world range preservation in local winter conditions.
Cycle through Eco, Normal, and Sport modes while monitoring the digital cluster for any responsiveness lag. Check for phantom 'Electrical System Fault' errors under high accessory load, which still point to a degrading 12V auxiliary battery.
Perform a diagnostic scan of the upgraded BMS, replace the cabin pollen filter, inspect high-voltage cabling security, and check brake pad alignment.
Flush and replace the brake fluid, inspect suspension bushings/struts for signs of acceleration wear due to battery weight, and perform a certified traction battery SoH report.
Perform a preventative fluid change of the single-speed reduction gearbox (highly recommended for the new 115kW motor setup), pressure-test the cooling loop, and replace the 12V auxiliary battery.
Suspension Bushing and Shock Absorber Visual Inspection
Brake Disc Rust Scrape & Slider Lubrication (preventing corrosion from regenerative braking reliance)
Cabin HVAC Pollen Filter Replacement (critical for heat pump operational efficiency)
High-Voltage Battery Coolant Level & Upgraded BMS Firmware Verification
Auxiliary 12V Battery Health Test (load test and voltage stability check)
Estimated repair costs if issues arise
Though reliability is improved on post-2024 models, any out-of-warranty hardware failure requires OEM replacement and specialized dealer coding.
Essential for both cabin comfort and traction battery thermal regulation; failure requires high-voltage certified repair.
Preventative replacement recommended every 3 years to avoid 'phantom' drivetrain errors and system immobilization.
