2019 Peugeot 5008 1.6L Petrol · LF19 CKH

The 2019 Peugeot 5008 presents a stable but slightly declining maintenance picture as of its most recent MOT on 21 April 2026 at 52,810 miles. The vehicle passed that test, yet three distinct advisories were logged, signalling that basic consumable and mechanical upkeep has slipped compared with the clean passes recorded in 2023 and 2025. The trend is not alarming, but it is no longer spotless. The nearside rear tyre was worn close to the legal limit and also showed edge wear and cracking, the nearside rear child seat prevented full inspection of the adult seatbelt, and the nearside front outer driveshaft gaiter was deteriorated. None of these are immediate failures, but together they suggest the car has not been receiving the same level of pre-test preparation seen in earlier years. The mileage record is straightforward and consistent with typical use. The car covered roughly 6,160 miles between the April 2025 test at 46,130 miles and the April 2026 test at 52,810 miles, which aligns with the long-term average of about 7,500 miles per year. Earlier intervals show similar steady accumulation: 7,305 miles between May 2023 at 32,668 miles and April 2024 at 39,973 miles, and 6,157 miles between April 2024 and April 2025. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer, and the record is clean and well-documented with no missing years. The 2024 test cycle is the most revealing. On 27 April 2024 at 39,973 miles the car failed on two tyre-related defects, including an offside front tyre below 1.6mm tread depth and a nail in the offside rear tyre. It passed a retest the same day, but failing on tyre condition twice in one visit points to deferred basic maintenance rather than an isolated puncture. Combined with the 2026 advisories on the nearside rear tyre and the perishing cracking, a buyer should carefully inspect all four tyres for uneven wear, sidewall damage, and age-related deterioration, especially if the car has spent long periods stationary. Beyond tyres, the deteriorated nearside front outer driveshaft gaiter is the most mechanically significant finding on file. A split or degraded gaiter allows grease to escape and ingress of water and debris, which can lead to joint wear and eventual driveshaft failure if left unaddressed. A buyer should check whether this has been replaced since April 2026 and inspect the inner gaiters and CV joints for play or clicking under load. The blocked nearside rear seatbelt inspection is minor but should still be verified once the child seat is removed. Overall, the car appears fundamentally sound, but the recent advisories indicate that routine consumable checks have been neglected, and a thorough on-site inspection of tyres, driveshafts, and underbody condition is advisable before purchase.
