2018 Peugeot 5008 1.2L Petrol · DA18 YTO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 91,924 miles resulted in a pass, the tester identified wear on the front braking system, specifically thin pads and pitted discs. This suggests that while the components are currently legally compliant, they are reaching the end of their service life and will require immediate replacement. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical family-car usage, averaging approximately 11,500 miles per year over its eight-year life. The data shows regular use, with roughly 8,000 miles driven between the September 2024 and October 2025 tests, another 2,000 miles covered before the March 2026 inspection. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of neglect, though the frequency of failures indicates that components are often only addressed once they reach a failure point. A buyer must specifically inspect the offside front drive shaft joint, as the split CV boot caused a failure in October 2025. If this was not replaced with a new boot and regased, the joint itself may suffer internal damage from grit ingress. Furthermore, the 2024 failure regarding the offside rear inner tyre with exposed cords highlights a previous disregard for basic tyre safety and alignment issues. A physical inspection should check the remaining tyres for uneven wear and verify that the front brake discs and pads have actually been replaced since the latest MOT advisory.
