2010 Peugeot 5008 1.6L Diesel · KP60 YLG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the history indicates a pattern of reactive maintenance. The most recent MOT test in July 2022 at 136,556 miles passed with no recorded defects, suggesting the car met minimum legal standards at that time. However, the recurrence of failures immediately preceding the passes in both 2021 and 2022 suggests that the previous owner only addressed mechanical issues when prompted by the annual testing process rather than following a proactive preventative maintenance schedule. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year over the last six years. Between June 2020 and July 2021, the car covered 2,098 miles, showing a relatively steady usage pattern. The four-year gap between the July 2022 test and the current date of June 2026 is significant, as the vehicle has operated without a recorded safety inspection for four years, increasing the likelihood of undetected degradation of rubber components or fluid leaks that were not captured in the last official record. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking system, as the vehicle has a history of failing tests shortly before passing. Given the age and mileage, the Peugeot should be checked for worn control arm bushes, perished coil springs, and signs of corrosion on the brake discs and calipers. Because the vehicle has lacked an MOT for four years, a specific check for structural integrity on the chassis and exhaust mounting points is essential to ensure no significant rust has developed during the period of lapsed testing.
