2022 Peugeot 5008 1.5L Diesel · CK22 JCV

The most recent MOT test on 20 September 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, which is consistent with the previous clean pass in February 2025. This indicates a stable and positive maintenance trend, suggesting that the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets all essential safety and environmental standards. The absence of any advisories or failures implies that the vehicle has not yet reached the threshold where common wear-and-tear components, such as suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake pads, require immediate attention or replacement. The recorded mileage of 28,267 miles over approximately four years equates to an annual average of roughly 7,067 miles. This is a typical usage profile for a modern family vehicle and suggests a balanced driving pattern. From a mechanical standpoint, this mileage is relatively low, meaning the primary drivetrain components and engine internals should have significant remaining service life. However, because the mileage is not exceptionally high, it is important to ensure the vehicle has not been subject to long periods of inactivity, which can sometimes lead to different types of mechanical issues compared to high-mileage wear. Since the MOT history is clean, your physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation rather than heavy mechanical wear. Closely examine the tyres for any signs of perishing, such as sidewall cracking or fine cracks within the tread, as rubber can lose its elasticity over time regardless of tread depth. You should also inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, particularly if the vehicle has been parked for long stretches, and verify that the calipers are not binding by testing for a smooth, consistent brake pedal feel and checking for even heat distribution across the wheels after a short drive. Furthermore, it is essential to verify that the service history includes time-based maintenance rather than just mileage-based intervals. Fluids such as engine oil, brake fluid, and coolant degrade over time due to chemical changes and moisture absorption, so confirm that these have been changed according to the manufacturer's calendar-based schedule. You should also check the health of the 12V battery, as lower annual mileage can sometimes lead to insufficient charging cycles. During your test drive, listen for any unusual knocks or clunks from the suspension, which could indicate that rubber bushes are beginning to harden, and ensure the engine idle and exhaust emissions remain stable.
