2021 Peugeot 5008 GT Prem P-Tech S/S Auto 1.2L Petrol · CF71 TXC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 59,027 miles passed, it followed a significant failure just eleven days prior. This sequence suggests the owner only addressed mechanical defects once a formal failure certificate was issued. The trend remains stable in terms of passing tests, but the recurring nature of the tyre and brake issues points to a lack of pre-test inspections between annual checks. The recorded mileage of 59,027 miles over five years represents an average of approximately 11,800 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a family SUV. There is a notable gap of 17,914 miles between the December 2024 and December 2025 tests. This rapid accumulation over a single year explains the accelerated wear seen on consumables, specifically the offside front tyre which progressed from having exposed cords at 41,113 miles to being smooth on the inner tread despite the advisory note after the initial failure. A buyer must prioritize inspecting the front suspension geometry and wheel alignment. The repeated failure for a smooth inner tread on the offside front tyre strongly indicates a camber issue or worn suspension bushes, which will continue to destroy new tyres rapidly if not rectified. The failure for thin brake pads at 58,464 miles further confirms that the braking system is nearing the end of its service interval. Physical inspection of the brake discs for uneven wear or scoring is necessary to ensure the thin pads did not damaged the rotors.
