2013 Peugeot 5008 1.6L Diesel · KS12 DOG

The 2013 Peugeot 5008 demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its most recent MOT result, which was a pass on 2024-02-16 at 129,676 miles. No defects were recorded in this test, and the historical pattern shows consistent compliance with safety standards. The vehicle has not accrued any critical failures in the last four MOTs, though two failed tests on 2024-02-16 at 129,671 miles and 2023-02-02 at 118,882 miles were noted without defects. This suggests either data entry anomalies or potential testing inconsistencies, but the absence of recorded faults in subsequent passes indicates no ongoing mechanical issues. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging 9,975 miles annually. The 2022-02-04 test at 112,012 miles showed a 6,870-mile increase from 2023-02-03, while the 2024-02-16 test recorded a 10,794-mile jump from 2023. These figures reflect standard annual usage, with no evidence of excessive wear or sudden mileage spikes. The MOT records are sparse in terms of defect details, but the lack of recurring issues in passes implies the vehicle has been maintained to a basic standard. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, which are common wear points on this model. The brake system, including discs and calipers, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as these can develop over time without MOT detection. Structural rust, especially in the underbody or door sills, warrants scrutiny, as it may not be flagged in routine tests. The absence of recorded faults does not eliminate these risks, so a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is advisable to confirm the vehicle’s condition.
