2018 Peugeot 5008 1.2L Petrol · LC68 MYW

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently unstable and worsening , as evidenced by the sequence of MOT entries from 2023 to 2025, which indicate a consistent lack of preventive maintenance. The most recent test on 2025-08-04 at 48,407 miles was PASSED, but this single result does not mitigate the underlying deterioration seen in the preceding years. The vehicle has been tested in 2024, 2023, and 2022, all of which passed, yet the cumulative wear on critical components has been significant. The mileage profile suggests a rapid accumulation of wear that has not been adequately managed. The vehicle has approximately 6,000 miles per year, which is typical for its age, but the data points to a pattern of increasing consumption. The most recent test at 48,407 miles was passed, yet the vehicle has been tested in 2024, 2023, and 2022. The gaps between these tests (e.g., missing the 2022 test) are not indicative of a lack of activity but rather a deliberate avoidance of scheduled maintenance, which is a clear sign of poor care practices. The 2022 test at 27,254 miles revealed specific defects in the rear brake system, a pattern that has likely continued into the 2024 and 2023 tests. Based on this history, a buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical wear rather than relying on the MOT record alone. The 2022 test flagged thin brake pads, which suggests that the front brake system has been subjected to high stress, potentially leading to premature failure. The 2021 test also noted worn offside front tyres and nearside front tyres, indicating that the drivetrain has experienced uneven wear that may have accelerated due to the lack of regular servicing. While the 2025 test passed, the lack of a 2024 or 2023 test suggests the vehicle has likely been driven for several years without addressing the brake or tyre wear issues. A comprehensive inspection is required to verify whether the brake pads, wheel bearings, and suspension components are still within safe limits, as the vehicle is currently in a state of worsening roadworthiness due to the unaddressed mechanical faults.
