2020 Peugeot 5008 1.5L Diesel · KS20 BFA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a trend of developing mechanical wear that requires close monitoring. The most recent test in March 2025 at 48,100 miles passed despite advisories for surface pitting and scoring on both rear brake discs. While these did not result in a failure, they suggest the braking components are reaching the end of their effective life or are suffering from corrosion due to previous inactivity. The mileage pattern is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. The record shows steady accumulation, moving from 26,668 miles in May 2023 to 38,978 miles in March 2024, and finally reaching 48,100 miles by March 2025. This regular usage profile suggests the car has not been left stationary for long periods nor subjected to extreme annual mileage, which generally slows the degradation of rubber components and fluid surfaces. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the steering system because the tester flagged slight free play in the steering rack in 2024 at 38,978 miles. While this was not mentioned in the 2025 test, steering play can be progressive and indicates internal rack wear or joint fatigue. Additionally, the rear inner tyres should be checked for perishing or cracking, as the 2023 advisory noted structural damage to the sidewalls. The pitted rear brake discs also require immediate replacement to ensure consistent stopping performance and to prevent further damage to the brake pads.
