2013 Peugeot 5008 1.6L Diesel · LK63 TXC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive ownership style. The most recent test in November 2024 at 93,319 miles resulted in a pass only after addressing multiple lighting failures and significant tyre wear. While the vehicle passed the immediate requirements, the recurring failures on basic consumables like bulbs and tyres suggest that the owner only addresses defects when prompted by the MOT tester rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-average-use vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year over its thirteen-year life. There is a notable gap of 18,508 miles covered between October 2022 and October 2023, followed by another 18,634 miles covered by November 2024. This recent acceleration in usage suggests the car is currently being driven more frequently than previously. The overall mileage remains low for the age, which often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and seals that are not reflected in mileage alone. A buyer should focus inspection on the suspension and tyre alignment, as the 2024 record noted uneven edge wear on the nearside and offside front tyres. This pattern often indicates poor wheel alignment geometry or worn suspension bushes that have not yet been replaced. Given the history of headlamp aim issues in 2023 and bulb failures in 2024, the electrical system and lighting connectors should be checked for corrosion or intermittent faults. No structural corrosion has been flagged to date, but a physical check of the underbody for surface rust remains essential for a Peugeot of this era.
