2017 Peugeot 5008 1.6L Diesel · FD17 AEF

The Peugeot 5008 currently fails the roadworthiness standard. The most recent test on 7 April 2026 at 81,017 miles returned a fail with no defects logged, a pattern that mirrors the earlier failure on 17 April 2024 at 50,330 miles before a pass the next day at 50,331 miles. The maintenance trend is unstable rather than worsening, with two administrative or undocumented failures breaking otherwise clean passes in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,000 miles, typical for a 2017 vehicle now showing 81,017 miles. The jump from 37,101 miles at the April 2023 test to 50,331 by April 2024 shows about 13,000 miles in a year, then 64,183 by April 2025 and 81,017 by April 2026, a steady 14,000 to 17,000 mile spread. The DVSA record carries no advisories or defect lines across any entry, so the data is sparse and offers no wear profile on consumables or structure. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and subframe corrosion despite the clean logs. The repeated fails with zero recorded defects suggest test station disputes or presentation issues rather than confirmed faults, but they leave the mechanical condition unverified. Confirm the reason for the April 2026 failure with the testing centre before purchase. Given the two fails bookending passes at near-identical mileages, previous ownership likely faced MOT booking errors or refused rectification on minor points. Inspect exhaust emissions and binding calipers in person, as these commonly escape a no-defect record yet affect roadworthiness.
