2012 Peugeot 5008 1.6L Diesel · C86 BUL

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 20 November 2025 at 149,296 miles with no defects recorded. While the history shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes, the current trend indicates that the owner is proactive in rectifying identified faults to maintain legal compliance. The lack of advisories in the two most recent tests suggests that the mechanical and structural components were in satisfactory condition at the time of those inspections. At 149,296 miles over 14 years, this Peugeot 5008 averaged approximately 10,664 miles per year, which aligns closely with typical national averages for a family vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 7,000 miles covered between December 2023 and December 2024, and another 4,600 miles between December 2024 and November 2025. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which helps prevent premature corrosion of brake components and the degradation of rubber seals. A buyer should pay attention to the recurring failures recorded in December 2023 and December 2024. In both instances, the vehicle failed just a few miles after the scheduled test, which implies the faults were minor consumable items such as bulbs, wiper blades, or minor brake adjustments that were addressed immediately before the retest. Given the high mileage, a physical inspection should focus on the integrity of the suspension bushes, the condition of the coil springs, and any signs of structural corrosion on the underside, as these are common points of wear for Peugeot models of this era.
