2021 Peugeot 5008 GT Puretech S/S Auto 1.2L Petrol · LR71 YEJ

This Peugeot 5008 demonstrates a stable roadworthiness record, with the most recent MOT test on 1st April 2026 confirming no defects at 40,343 miles. The absence of advisories or failings across three consecutive tests—including the latest—indicates the vehicle has passed all mandatory checks without mechanical or structural concerns. However, the 12-month gap between the 2026 and 2025 tests suggests the vehicle has not undergone a recent service or inspection outside the MOT cycle, which could mask underlying wear on non-MOT-tested components such as suspension bushes, drive shafts, or power steering fluid condition. The mileage progression shows consistent usage, averaging around 8,069 miles annually over the past two years, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. The 2025 tests at 28,133 and 28,146 miles—just nine days apart—likely reflect a minor adjustment in mileage logging rather than a significant change in usage patterns. While this mileage is typical for its age, the lack of pre-MOT services or maintenance records means critical components like brake pads, suspension dampers, and timing belt (if applicable) may not have been serviced at manufacturer-recommended intervals. A buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The brakes, though not flagged in MOTs, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been driven in varied conditions. Corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe should also be assessed, as this is a common failure point for vehicles of this age. The engine bay should be examined for fluid leaks, particularly from the power steering and cooling systems, while the exhaust system should be inspected for rust or damage, particularly at the rear mounts. Given the sparse maintenance history, a full service history verification would be advisable to confirm the vehicle has not been neglected.
