2021 Peugeot 5008 1.5L Diesel · KM21 DFJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following its most recent test in March 2026, yet the maintenance trend shows a slight shift toward mechanical wear components. While the car passed at 57,119 miles, the tester identified new issues regarding the nearside front tyre and offside front track rod end ball joint play. This indicates that while the vehicle remains structurally sound, the suspension components are beginning to reach the end of their service life and require proactive attention. The mileage pattern is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,400 miles per year. The record shows a steady accumulation of 8,000 miles between March 2024 and March 2025, followed by another 6,000 miles leading up to the March 20, 2026 test. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often leads to the degradation of rubber seals and internal fluid components in the drivetrain and steering assembly. A buyer must inspect the front suspension specifically to address the play noted in the offside front track rod end. This component requires immediate replacement to prevent steering instability and uneven tyre wear. The recurring advisories regarding tyres worn to the legal limit, seen on the nearside rear in 2024 and the nearside front in 2026, suggest a pattern of neglecting basic consumable maintenance or ignoring wheel alignment issues. A professional wheel alignment check is essential to ensure that the suspension geometry is not causing premature failure of new tyres.
