2011 Peugeot 5008 1.6L Diesel · KN61 ACU

The 2011 Peugeot 5008 presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its most recent MOT test on 2024-12-07 at 136,921 miles, which resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. The prior test on the same date also passed, though the duplicate entry suggests potential record-keeping inconsistencies. No structural corrosion, brake system faults, or suspension issues were flagged in the last three years, indicating consistent maintenance. The absence of advisories or failures from 2021 to 2024 implies no urgent mechanical risks, though the vehicle’s age and mileage warrant closer scrutiny of high-wear components. The mileage progression shows a steady annual average of 9,128 miles, aligning with typical usage for a 15-year-old vehicle. The 2023-12-02 test at 128,537 miles and 2022-12-16 test at 111,770 miles reveal no irregularities in service intervals, suggesting regular operation. However, the 18-month gap between the 2024 test and today’s date (2026-07-21) means the vehicle has not been assessed for over two years, raising concerns about potential undetected issues. This period of inactivity could exacerbate wear on components like brake discs, suspension bushes, or exhaust systems, which require periodic inspection. A buyer should prioritise checking the suspension for worn coil springs or bushings, as these often degrade with age, and inspect brake components for uneven wear or corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has been parked for extended periods. The absence of recorded exhaust emissions failures is positive, but a visual check for rust on underbody panels remains advisable. While the MOT history lacks red flags, the prolonged gap since the last test necessitates a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s continued roadworthiness.
