2013 Peugeot 5008 1.6L Diesel · LS63 MZO

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to mechanical upkeep. The most recent test in December 2025 at 50,892 miles flagged thin front brake pads, suggesting that the owner waits until components approach failure before seeking replacement. While the car has passed its inspections consistently, the history shows a recurring pattern of consumable items reaching the legal limit at or before the annual MOT interval. The mileage profile is notably low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,900 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between November 2021 and November 2022, where the car covered only 100 miles in a full year. However, usage increased sharply recently, with 27,36 miles driven between January 2024 and December 2025. This pattern of low-frequency use often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components and perishation, which may not be reflected in mileage alone despite the low odometer reading. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the tyres, as records from December 2024 show three tyres worn to the legal limit with the offside rear inner specifically out of shape. This uneven wear suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that require investigation. The braking system needs immediate attention regarding the thin pads noted in the December 2025 test. Given the long periods of inactivity, the inspector should also check for surface corrosion on the brake discs and cracking in the tyre hoses, which are common in low-mileage vehicles of this age.
