2016 Peugeot 5008 1.6L Diesel · FV16 GGO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent MOT test in October 2024 at 89,189 miles passed, it followed a significant failure just two days prior that revealed critical safety defects. The presence of recurring issues regarding tyres, brake wear, and lighting components suggests that faults are only being addressed once they reach the point of failure or legal limit breach. At approximately 89,000 miles, the vehicle has covered an average of 8,900 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a family MPV. The data shows a steady progression in mileage, with a 12,600-mile interval between October 2023 and October 2024, and another 10,300-mile gap between October 2022 and 2023. This consistent accumulation suggests regular use, though the underlying mechanical wear is evidenced by the frequent failures noted during these periods. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension, as the rear axle bushes were flagged as pershing in October 2024. This is a known wear item that may require replacement to maintain handling quality. Furthermore, the braking system requires attention; the record shows thin front inner pads in 2024 and a history of pitted or scored discs dating back to 2020. A prospective owner should verify the current thickness of the pads and the condition of the discs to ensure they are not nearing the end of their service life. Tyre condition is a recurring concern for this vehicle, with multiple failures for exposed cords and low tread depth recorded across 2022, 2023, and 2024. The history of uneven wear on inner edges suggests potential alignment issues or worn dampers that should be checked. Additionally, the buyer should confirm that all exterior lighting and the artwork artwork system are fully functional, as these have frequently been identified as points of failure in previous tests.
