2019 Peugeot 5008 2.0L Diesel · LE19 LLJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test in July 2025 at 38,442 miles resulted in an initial failure due to thin offside rear brake pads and exposed cords on the nearside front tyre. While the vehicle passed immediately after these rectifications, the recurring nature of consumable failures suggests that components are only being addressed once they reach a point of failure rather than during scheduled service intervals. At 38,442 miles over seven years, this Peugeot 5008 averages approximately 5,500 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average. The mileage progression shows consistent usage, with roughly 9,200 miles covered between the July 2024 and July 2025 tests, and approximately 7,700 miles between 2023 and 2024. This low mileage profile often leads to accelerated degradation of rubber components and surface corrosion on brake discs if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the braking system and suspension alignment. The 2024 test noted a pitted and scored offside rear brake disc, while the 2025 failure highlighted dangerously thin pads on the same axle. Furthermore, repeated reports of tyres worn on shoulders in 2024 and exposed cords in 2025 suggest potential wheel alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that require checking. Verify the state of the wiper blades, as the 2023 failure for poor windscreen clearing indicates these were previously overlooked by the owner.
