2017 Peugeot 5008 1.6L Diesel · KK13 COL

This Peugeot 5008 demonstrates a remarkably strong, consecutive run of first-time MOT passes spanning six recorded tests, culminating in a completely clean pass on the fourth of August 2026 with zero defects or advisories noted. While an earlier 2020 inspection flagged minor edge wear on both front tyres alongside slight play in the offside front anti-roll bar linkage, the subsequent four years show a complete absence of recurring structural or mechanical shortcomings. This trajectory highlights a stable period of roadworthiness where typical wear items have been addressed promptly between annual tests. Accumulating 52,417 miles over its nine-year life equates to an average of roughly 5,824 miles per year, placing this vehicle firmly in the low-mileage category for its age class. This modest annual mileage footprint does not exhibit any suspicious testing gaps or erratic spikes in usage that might indicate commercial abuse or prolonged periods of standing. Mechanically, such light use generally spares high-stress drivetrain components from premature fatigue, though a careful physical inspection of rubber boots, suspension bushings, and exhaust hangers remains prudent to ensure low usage has not caused premature perishing of elastomeric components. Given the history of anti-roll bar linkage play noted in 2020, a rigorous physical check of the front suspension is essential during your test drive. Listen intently for any metallic knocking, clunking, or hollow rattles when navigating sharp potholes, speed bumps, or uneven patchwork tarmac at low speeds, which would indicate renewed wear in the drop links or control arm bushes. Furthermore, inspect the inner and outer tread edges of all four tyres for uneven wear patterns, echoing the shoulder-wear advisory recorded previously, and confirm the steering tracks straight without pulling under braking. Finally, verify the operation and physical condition of the rear seating rows, as a previous test noted the rear row was stored away; ensure all folding mechanisms, latches, and seatbelt anchors operate smoothly and lock securely into place without restriction. Check that all dashboard warning lights extinguish correctly upon starting the engine, and listen for any abnormal whines or hesitation from the transmission through the rev range. A thorough check of the service documentation alongside this clean MOT record will provide a complete picture of the vehicle's functional health.
