2019 Peugeot 5008 1.2L Petrol · LL69 UEX

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance history shows minor fluctuations rather than consistent perfection. The most recent test in January 2026 at 33,934 miles resulted in a pass despite a defect regarding the rear exhaust mounting. This follows a failure in December 2024 where the tester identified insufficient washer fluid and a perished offside front tyre. The trend remains stable, with faults being addressed between tests rather than recurring mechanical failures. The mileage profile is notably low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,848 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between December 2022 at 9,037 miles and December 2023 at 17,912 miles, where the car covered nearly 9,000 miles in one year. This low annual mileage often correlates with degradation of rubber components, as seen in the 2024 failure for a cracking and perished tyre, which occurs due to age and stationary time rather than tread wear. A buyer should inspect the condition of all rubber components, as the 2024 failure indicates the vehicle may sit for long periods, leading to dry rot. The defective exhaust mounting noted in January 2026 requires a physical check to ensure the hangers are not corroded or sheared off. Given the low mileage, the brake discs should be inspected for surface rust or pitting, which is common on vehicles that are not used frequently. Ensure the washer fluid system is fully tested to confirm the previous failure was properly rectified.
