2015 Peugeot 5008 1.6L Diesel · FH15 KWV

A pattern of recurring consumable wear and sensor issues defines the mechanical profile of this Peugeot 5008, with the most recent test on 06 February 2026 recording a pass alongside an advisory for a tyre pressure monitoring light. While the vehicle has avoided major structural or mechanical failures, the MOT history shows a trend of advisories related to tyre tread depth and brake disc condition. The presence of pitted or scored brake discs in 2024 and worn tyres in both 2023 and 2025 indicates that components are reaching the end of their service life at regular intervals, though the vehicle has consistently met the minimum legal requirements for roadworthiness. The recorded mileage of 100,802 miles over an eleven-year period results in an average annual accumulation of approximately 9,164 miles. This usage rate is consistent with typical UK driving patterns for a family vehicle of this age. Mechanically, this level of mileage suggests that while the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme high-speed motorway endurance, it has undergone enough cycles of thermal expansion and mechanical movement to necessitate the replacement of wear-and-tear items such as brake discs, pads, and tyres. The consistent annual testing suggests the vehicle has been in regular use rather than sitting stationary for extended periods. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the braking system and tyre condition during a physical inspection and test drive. The 2024 advisories regarding pitted and scored brake discs on both the nearside and offside front suggest that the discs may have surface degradation. On a test drive, listen for any rhythmic clicking or grinding noises when braking and feel for any pedal judder or vibration through the footwell, which can indicate uneven disc wear or warping. Furthermore, the recent advisory for the tyre pressure monitoring light should be investigated; a sensor fault or a slow leak in one of the tyres could trigger this warning, so ensure the system is functioning correctly and not masking a genuine pressure issue. The history of tyre advisories, specifically noting wear on the edges of the tyres in 2023 and 2025, warrants a close inspection of the front-end geometry. Uneven tyre wear on the edges often points toward issues with wheel alignment, worn suspension bushes, or incorrect camber settings. During the test drive, check for any pulling to one side when the steering wheel is released on a level road and listen for knocks or knocks over bumps, which could indicate that the suspension components are beginning to fail. Given the age and mileage, verifying the current state of the tyres and the integrity of the steering and suspension linkages is a necessary step.
