2016 Peugeot 5008 Active Blue HDI S/S 1.6L Diesel · FX16 KWJ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in August 2025 at 150,061 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history reveals a pattern of failures immediately preceding successful passes. Specifically, failures recorded in June 2024 and July 2025 were rectified within weeks, suggesting that the previous owner addresses minor defects or consumable wear items only when required to pass the annual test rather than following a preventative maintenance schedule. The mileage profile indicates heavy usage for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging 15,000 miles per annum. A significant period of activity occurred between December 2022 and July 2024, where the car covered nearly 29,000 miles in just eighteen months. This rapid accumulation, combined with the total reading of over 150,000 miles, places considerable strain on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system. The consistent use suggests the car was likely used for long-distance commuting, which accelerates the degradation of rubber components and mechanical linkages. Given the high mileage, a buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry and shock absorbers. Control arm bushes and drop links often show signs of tearing at this stage, and the braking system should be checked for signs of binding calipers or thin discs, as high-mileage cycles increase thermal stress on these parts. While the MOT record shows no structural corrosion yet, the underbody warrants scrutiny for rust on sills and mounting points to ensure the heavy usage history has not compromised the integrity of the chassis.
