2013 Peugeot 5008 1.6L Diesel · LN63 ADU

The 2013 Peugeot 5008 demonstrates a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 2025-09-26 at 88,640 miles recording a pass. However, the vehicle has experienced two consecutive failures in 2025 and 2024, both without recorded defects, suggesting potential administrative or procedural issues rather than mechanical shortcomings. The absence of critical failures in the latest test indicates the vehicle remains compliant, though the pattern of repeated failures without specific faults raises questions about the consistency of inspection outcomes. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging 6,818 miles annually. Notable gaps exist between tests, such as the 10,138-mile span between the 2023-09-29 test (71,068 miles) and the 2024-10-03 test (79,554 miles), which may reflect irregular servicing intervals. The rapid accumulation of 9,086 miles between the 2024-09-26 failure (79,516 miles) and the 2025-09-26 pass (88,640 miles) suggests increased usage, potentially accelerating wear on components like tyres, brakes, and suspension. The MOT history lacks detailed defect reports, making it difficult to assess underlying mechanical trends. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough in-person inspection of the suspension system, focusing on worn bushes or coil springs, and verify brake functionality, including disc thickness and caliper movement. Structural integrity should be checked for corrosion, particularly in areas prone to rust, such as underbody panels and door sills. While the MOT records do not flag specific issues, the vehicle’s age and mileage warrant scrutiny of its service history to confirm consistent maintenance practices. The absence of recorded defects in recent tests is reassuring but does not eliminate the need for a physical examination of high-wear components.
