2010 Peugeot 5008 2.0L Diesel · AF60 KNX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive upkeep. While the latest test in February 2025 at 165,593 miles secured a pass, it flagged thin brake pads on both axles and a damaged windscreen. This follows a period of significant mechanical neglect in early 2024, where critical suspension components like ball joints and fractured coil springs were ignored until they caused failure. The trend suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults when they become immediate failures during an MOT test. At 165,593 miles over 16 years, the Peugeot averages approximately 10,350 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a family vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent use, with roughly 6,000 miles covered between April 2023 and January 2024, and another 8,200 miles between January 2024 and February 2025. This steady mileage accumulation places constant strain on the drivetrain and suspension, which aligns with the recurring issues with wear-related components recorded in the history. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The record shows repeated failures involving ball joints, track rod ends, and a fractured coil spring within a short window, suggesting the rubber bushings and metal joints are nearing the end of their service life. The binding rear brakes noted in January 2024 should be checked again to ensure the calipers are not seized, especially since the pads were flagged as thin in the 2025 test. Given the history of failing tyres with exposed cords, the current tread depth and age of all four tyres must be verified to ensure they are not dangerously worn.
