2021 Peugeot 5008 GT Premium Bluehdi S/S A 1.5L Diesel · H26 GAJ

A recurring pattern of tyre degradation and a recent dangerous failure define the roadworthiness history of this vehicle. While it achieved a pass on 20 February 2026, this followed an immediate failure on the same date due to a dangerous bulge in the nearside front tyre and an insecure front passenger door hinge. This follows a 2024 test where both rear tyres were flagged for being worn close to the legal limit and showing signs of perishing, suggesting a trend of tyre wear and structural deterioration over the last few years. The recorded mileage of 55,995 miles is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,199 miles per year. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used regularly, which generally prevents the stagnation issues associated with long-term standing but ensures that consumables such as brake pads, suspension bushings, and drivetrain components have been subjected to standard operational wear. Given the history of tyre perishing and the dangerous structural failure of the nearside front tyre in early 2026, a thorough visual inspection of all four tyre sidewalls is essential to check for further bulges or cracking. The previous recording of a damaged windscreen should be verified to ensure no cracks have propagated or obstructed the driver's field of vision. During a test drive, specific attention should be paid to the security of the front passenger door; check for any abnormal movement, misalignment, or noise when opening and closing the door to ensure the hinge repair was executed correctly. Additionally, listen for any unusual vibrations or steering pull that could indicate uneven tyre wear or alignment issues, which may have contributed to the previous rear tyre wear patterns recorded in 2024.
