2010 Peugeot 5008 1.6L Diesel · AO60 ADX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in August 2022 at 95,909 miles passed with no defects, following a failure just one mile prior on the same mileage reading due to an excessively loose central front engine mounting bracket. While the vehicle has passed its last two tests, the history suggests that mechanical issues are only addressed once they trigger an MOT failure, indicating an inconsistent service regime. At 95,909 miles, this Peugeot 5008 has averaged approximately 6,000 miles per year over its sixteen years. The data shows a significant gap in usage between October 2020 (93,224 miles) and August 2022 (95,909 miles), during which the car covered only 2,600 miles in two years. This low mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components through stagnation, which is consistent with the findings of deteriorated brake hoses and contaminated fluid during those periods. A buyer must physically inspect the suspension and braking systems, as these areas show recurring points of failure. The 2019 test flagged a noisy nearside front wheel bearing and play in the offside front anti-roll bar linkage, while the 2018 failure identified a broken offside front coil spring. The 2019 record also noted general engine oil leaks and signs of fuel injector leakage, which require a thorough visual check for active weeping or carbon buildup. Given the history of deteriorated brake hoses in 2020, a professional inspection of all rubber lines is essential to ensure no further cracking or perished has occurred due to the vehicle's age and low usage.
