2020 Peugeot 5008 1.5L Diesel · EK20 AEV

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its most recent 2025-09-18 MOT at 29,539 miles. All prior tests from 2023 to 2025 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. The 2023-06-09 test, though marked as failed, recorded no defects, suggesting a possible administrative error or minor non-critical failure. No recurring mechanical concerns are evident from the record, and the low mileage of 29,539 over six years implies minimal wear on consumables like tyres and brakes. The mileage pattern shows gradual accumulation, with 19,045 miles at the 2023-06-09 test, rising to 23,865 by 2024-05-08, then 27,259 in 2025-04-14, and 29,539 in 2025-09-18. This equates to approximately 4,923 miles annually, reflecting light usage. However, the 11-month gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and the 11-month interval between 2024 and 2025, may indicate periods of reduced activity. Such intervals could lead to issues like brake component corrosion or suspension bushing stiffness, though no such faults were flagged in subsequent inspections. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, which may degrade during prolonged inactivity. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, as low mileage can mask normal friction. The exhaust system and structural integrity, not routinely tested in MOTs, warrant inspection for hidden rust or damage. No immediate mechanical risks are indicated, but the vehicle’s history suggests a need for thorough pre-purchase evaluation of non-MOT-covered systems.
