The record contains 3 passes and 1 failure.
The most recent test on 22 January 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 1 failure that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 4 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Offside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))”; “Engine MIL inoperative or indicates a malfunction (8.2.1.2 (h))”.

Our Verdict
This 2020 Peugeot 5008 is a reasonably s
The standout concern is the engine MIL inoperative/malfunction item recorded at the January 2026 MOT. MIL illumination on a 1.2 PureTech petrol unit — a known source of issues across the Stellantis small-petrol family — should be diagnosed by a garage using OBD-II before purchase. Ask the seller to clear the codes and produce evidence that the light stays off after a drive cycle. Insist on seeing any diagnostic printout or invoices relating to the repair made between the fail and the same-day pass.
Beyond the MIL, the tyres have been a recurring advisory theme. Both nearside and offside front tyres have been flagged for wear close to the legal limit on two consecutive tests, which suggests either aggressive front-end geometry, heavy urban use, or simply infrequent rotation. Budget for a fresh pair of quality tyres immediately after purchase, and consider a geometry check. A service history showing regular oil changes on the 1.2 PureTech is also worth requesting, as timing chain stretch has been a wider industry concern on similar units.
The 1.2 PureTech petrol in the 5008 typically returns around 40-45 mpg in real-world mixed driving, depending on load and the balance of town versus motorway miles. Road tax sits in a reasonable band given the Euro 6 AM classification, and the vehicle is not subject to the diesel surcharge. Insurance on a seven-seat 5008 tends to land in groups 18-22 depending on trim, so mid-table premiums should be expected.
Maintenance costs are generally moderate, though Peugeot main dealer labour rates can be on the steeper side. Annual servicing (oil and filter) typically runs £180-£260 at an independent specialist, with a major service including brake fluid and spark plugs nudging higher. Allowing for fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, an annual running cost in the region of £1,200-£1,500 is realistic for a vehicle of this size and age. Factor in a contingency for the MIL investigation and tyre replacement at point of purchase.
Start with a live diagnostic scan to confirm the MIL is genuinely resolved — the inoperative lamp itself can mask ongoing faults if the bulb has simply been disconnected or if codes have been cleared without repair. Check that the tyre wear pattern on the fronts is even; uneven wear points to alignment or suspension issues, which would explain the repeated advisories. Examine all four tyres for age (DOT date code) as well as tread, because perished sidewalls on a 2020 car are unusual but not impossible.
For the 1.2 PureTech specifically, listen on cold start for any rattling from the timing chain area — a brief rattle that disappears within a second or two is normal, but a persistent noise warrants investigation. Check for oil consumption by inspecting the oil level on the dipstick and asking the owner about top-up intervals. Inspect the underside for oil leaks around the cam cover and turbo oil feed. Finally, verify all seven seats function correctly, including the fold-flat mechanism, as seat mechanism issues are a known MOT advisory trigger for MPVs of this class.
First registered in July 2020, this 1.2-litre petrol Peugeot 5008 in black has covered 28,180 miles across four MOT tests, equating to roughly 4,200 miles per year — well below the model average of 8,851 miles annually. Three of the four tests passed, though the most recent attempt in January 2026 initially failed before passing the same day, with advisories and a fail item centred on tyre condition and a malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). The vehicle is Euro 6 AM compliant, which keeps it within current Clean Air Zone requirements across most UK cities.
Across 32,444 Peugeot 5008 examples analysed, the average MOT pass rate is 78.4%, with the most common failure points being tyres, window issues, and wheel bearings. This vehicle's pass rate (75% across four tests) sits broadly in line with the model aggregate, neither notably better nor worse than its peers.
