2015 Peugeot 5008 1.6L Diesel · EJ65 VBP

Recurring issues with lighting and brake component wear define the mechanical profile of this Peugeot 5008. The vehicle has experienced intermittent failures related to stop lamps and headlamps, with the most recent test on 26 November 2025 showing a failure for a non-functional nearside rear stop lamp before achieving a pass. This pattern of electrical component failure is interspersed with advisories regarding brake disc condition, specifically noting pitted or scored inner brake discs on both the nearside and offside fronts during the November 2024 inspection. The recorded mileage of 76,809 miles over an eleven-year period represents an average annual accumulation of approximately 6,983 miles. This usage rate is consistent with typical light-to-moderate driving patterns for a vehicle of this age. While the mileage is relatively low, the consistent annual testing suggests a regular usage cycle rather than long periods of inactivity, which typically reduces the likelihood of age-related degradation from standing still, though it does not negate the wear seen on consumables like tyres and brake discs. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and lighting circuits during a physical inspection and test drive. The 2024 advisories regarding pitted and scored front brake discs suggest that the friction surfaces are beginning to degrade. On a test drive, listen for any rhythmic clicking or grinding noises when braking and feel for any pedal judder or vibrations through the footwell, which can indicate uneven disc surfaces. Additionally, ensure all exterior lighting, particularly the stop lamps and dipped beam headlamps, functions correctly to avoid the immediate electrical failures noted in the 2023 and 2025 tests. Tyre wear has also been a recurring advisory point, with the 2021 and 2023 records flagging tyres worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges. This can sometimes indicate alignment issues or uneven load distribution. During the test drive, monitor the vehicle for any pulling to one side or a wandering sensation on the steering, which may suggest that suspension components or wheel alignment require attention. Checking the current tread depth and looking for uneven wear patterns across the contact patch of all four tyres will be essential to determine if these previous advisories have been addressed.
