2018 Peugeot 5008 1.2L Petrol · HC67 ARR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive care. While the car passed its most recent test in March 2026 at 59,468 miles, the recurring advisories regarding worn tyres reaching the legal limit and a persistent nail issue in the offside rear tyre suggest that the owner tends to defer consumable replacements until they reach failure points. This trend indicates a marginal level of basic upkeep. At 59,468 miles over eight years, the Peugeot has averaged approximately 7,400 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a family vehicle. There is a notable gap in the records between February 2023 and July 2024, where the vehicle covered over 11,000 miles without an inspection. The failure in July 2024 at 53,575 miles due to thin rear brake pads and a defective exhaust mounting shows that mechanical wear was allowed to progress significantly before being addressed during the annual service intervals. A buyer should focus specifically on the braking system and exhaust assembly during a physical inspection. The 2024 failure for rear brake pads being less than 1.5mm thick, preceded by an advisory for thin pads in January of that same year, suggests the rear calipers may suffer from sticking or that the owner ignores early warning signs. The defective exhaust mounting flagged in 2024 should be checked to ensure the system is secure and not suffering from further corrosion or structural damage. Given the repeated reports of uneven tyre wear in the 2026 test, a professional alignment check is also necessary to rule out suspension geometry issues that are causing premature tyre degradation.
