2022 Peugeot 5008 GT Prem P-Tech S/S Auto 1.2L Petrol · CF22 OXZ

High annual mileage and a recent history of tyre-related failures define the mechanical profile of this vehicle, which most recently passed its MOT on 20 August 2026. While the most recent result shows no defects, the testing sequence in July 2026 revealed a dangerous failure due to the offside rear tyre having exposed ply or cords, necessitating an immediate replacement to meet safety standards. This follows an advisory from July 2025 regarding a cut in the nearside front tyre, suggesting a recurring pattern of tyre wear or impact damage that requires close monitoring of the tread integrity and sidewall condition. The vehicle has covered 73,934 miles in approximately four years, representing an average annual accumulation of roughly 18,484 miles. This usage rate is significantly higher than the UK average for a vehicle of this age and indicates consistent, heavy road use. Mechanically, this higher mileage profile typically accelerates the wear on consumable components such as brake pads, tyres, and suspension bushes, and increases the likelihood of premature fatigue in drivetrain and cooling system components compared to lower-mileage counterparts. Prospective buyers should pay specific attention to the braking system and tyre condition during a physical inspection and test drive. The July 2025 advisory regarding thinning front inner brake pads indicates that the braking components are subject to regular wear; during a test drive, listen for any squealing sounds during deceleration and feel for any pedal judder or pulling to one side, which could indicate uneven pad wear or sticking calipers. Given the recent tyre failures, a thorough visual inspection of all four tyres is essential, looking specifically for sidewall bulges, cuts, or uneven tread wear that might suggest alignment issues or suspension geometry problems. The high mileage also necessitates a careful check of the suspension and steering components. While no specific suspension defects were recorded, the heavy usage pattern means you should listen for knocks, clunks, or knocks over uneven road surfaces or speed bumps, which may indicate worn suspension linkages or dampers. Additionally, ensure the steering feels precise and centered, as high-mileage vehicles can sometimes exhibit steering wander or a pull to one side if the steering rack or bushings have begun to degrade under the weight of frequent long-distance travel.
