2019 Peugeot 5008 1.5L Diesel · CU11 ADE

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on February 27, 2026, at 56,799 miles with no recorded defects. This represents an improvement over the significant failure in May 2024, where multiple mechanical and safety issues were identified. The results from the last two tests suggest that the previous owner addressed the flagged faults and has maintained basic operational standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 8,100 miles per year. There is a notable gap in data between September 2022 at 19,730 miles and July 2023 at 36,572 miles, where the car covered over 16,000 miles in under ten months. Since then, the usage has steadied, adding roughly 7,000 to 8,000 miles annually. This steady progression suggests the vehicle was not subjected to extreme stress from high mileage or long periods of inactivity. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the braking and suspension components, as history shows recurring wear issues. The 2024 failure flagged a severely deteriorated nearside front drive shaft CV boot and rear brake pads below the 1.5mm limit, while the 2023 test also noted thin nearside front pads. These indicators suggest a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than proactive replacement. Verify that the replacement CV boot is free of grease leaks and that the current brake components have sufficient remaining life. Additionally, check the functionality of the windscreen washer system and headlamps, as these were previous points of failure.
