2020 Peugeot 5008 2.0L Diesel · EF05 AAF

The most recent DVSA MOT test for this 2020 Peugeot 5008 was conducted on 23 April 2026, resulting in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. Across the documented test history, the vehicle has demonstrated a generally stable and well-maintained roadworthiness profile, having passed four consecutive MOT examinations. The single failure recorded on 23 February 2023 concerned an electronic stability control warning lamp indicating a fault, which was subsequently rectified to enable a pass the following month. The only advisory issued during the five-year test history was on 1 September 2025, noting that the rear brake pads were wearing thin. This suggests a consistent maintenance pattern with no recurring or escalating structural, emissions, or corrosion concerns, indicating that the vehicle has been serviced and presented for test in good order throughout its life. The recorded mileage of 107,230 miles over approximately six years equates to an annual usage of roughly 17,872 miles, which is considerably above the UK national average for a private vehicle and classifies this 5008 as high-mileage. There are no significant gaps in the recorded mileage progression, indicating that the vehicle has been in regular, continuous use rather than left standing for prolonged periods. Sustained high annual mileage typically accelerates wear on consumable and mechanical components such as brake pads and discs, tyres, suspension bushes, coil springs, drivetrain mountings, clutch assemblies (where applicable), engine oil, and transmission fluid. Buyers should anticipate that items such as timing chains, turbochargers, dual-clutch gearbox actuators, and diesel particulate filters (if fitted) may require closer scrutiny due to the elevated workload placed upon them over the past six years. Given the rear brake pad advisory recorded in September 2025, a prospective buyer should inspect the current state of the braking system as a matter of priority. It is highly probable that the rear brake pads have now reached or exceeded minimum serviceable thickness, and the rear brake discs may exhibit lipping, scoring, or corrosion pitting from extended use. On a test drive, listen for any brake shudder, grinding, or squealing under light or moderate application, and verify that the vehicle pulls evenly to a stop without vibration through the pedal. Also examine the brake fluid condition and confirm whether a fluid change has been documented in the service history, as brake fluid is hygroscopic and should be replaced every two to three years regardless of mileage to prevent internal corrosion within the brake calipers and ABS modulator. In addition to braking components, the high annual mileage warrants careful inspection of the suspension and undercarriage for wear commonly associated with frequent road use. Check the condition of the tyres for uneven shoulder wear, which can indicate worn suspension bushes, drop links, or tracking misalignment, and confirm the tyres are of matching brand, size, and tread depth across each axle. Inspect the exhaust system for signs of corrosion or blowing joints, particularly around the flexi section and rear silencer, as these deteriorate faster on high-mileage vehicles exposed to winter road conditions. Equally important is verification of the complete service book history, including confirmation of cambelt or timing chain replacement intervals as specified by Peugeot, regular engine oil and filter changes, and any remedial work carried out in response to the 2023 electronic stability control fault to ensure the underlying issue was fully resolved rather than merely cleared from the diagnostic system. A 12-volt battery health check is also advisable, as high-mileage vehicles with frequent short journeys may have subjected the battery to repeated shallow discharge cycles, reducing its service life. Finally, verify that all warning lamps extinguish promptly upon ignition and that the electronic stability control and anti-lock braking systems function as intended during a road test.
