2021 Peugeot 5008 Allure Puretech S/S 1.2L Petrol · KT70 EXF

The vehicle remains roadworthy as of its most recent MOT on 2026-01-10, but the maintenance trend is worsening. The rear tyres were flagged as worn close to the legal limit during the January test, a condition that first appeared in the prior December 2024 test on the front tyres — indicating a pattern of tyre wear that has not been addressed. Additionally, the rear inner brake pad was noted as thin in 2024, and while not flagged again in 2026, the continued presence of tyre wear suggests ongoing neglect of routine wear items. Mileage progression shows a steady, moderate usage profile for a five-year-old vehicle. From 15,826 miles in December 2023 to 26,287 miles in December 2024, and then to 36,518 miles in January 2026, the car has accumulated roughly 10,500 miles in 12 months and 10,231 miles in 13 months — consistent with average annual usage. There are no signs of sudden mileage spikes or long periods of inactivity, which supports the notion that the vehicle has been regularly driven but not necessarily maintained with precision. Buyers should inspect the rear suspension components closely, as the repeated tyre wear — particularly on the edges — may indicate alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. The thin rear brake pad noted in 2024 warrants a full brake system check, including caliper binding and disc thickness, since brake wear can accelerate if not balanced across all wheels. Also examine the wheel arches and underbody for early signs of corrosion, as the MOT record does not mention structural integrity issues, but the age and mileage suggest these areas may be vulnerable. Tyre condition should be verified in person, as tread depth can vary significantly even when recorded as “close to limit.”.
