2018 Peugeot 5008 1.2L Petrol · DA18 YTL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive mechanical care. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 60,065 miles was a pass, it followed a significant failure just one day prior. The trend shows a persistent failure to address suspension components and tyre condition until they reached the point of legal failure. The presence of multiple failures in 2024 and 2025 suggests the owner only performs repairs when an MOT test triggers a requirement. The mileage profile is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. Between July 2023 at 43,135 miles and September 2024 at 52,750 miles, the car covered nearly 10,000 miles, indicating relatively regular usage. The most recent interval of 7,315 miles between September 2024 and August 2025 shows steady use, which explains the accelerated wear and tear on the rubber components and tyre treads noted in the records. A buyer must closely inspect the front suspension assembly, as the lower suspension arm pins and bushes have been flagged as worn across three consecutive annual tests from 2024 to 2025. Although the tester did not find excessive movement in the latest test, the persistence of this fault indicates the bushes are nearing the end of their functional life. Furthermore, the history shows poor tyre management, with 2025 failure revealing exposed cords and deep cuts on the nearside and offside tyres. This suggests potential alignment issues or impact damage that is causing uneven wear patterns noted in the previous records.
