2018 Peugeot 5008 1.6L Petrol · LT18 AOR

The 2018 Peugeot 5008 demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend over its MOT history, with the most recent test on 27 February 2026—just five months ago—confirming no defects at 51,404 miles. The vehicle has passed every annual test since February 2023 without fail, though the duplicate entry for that year (a failed test followed by an immediate pass at identical mileage) suggests either a retest after minor rectifications or a data anomaly. No advisories or recurring faults appear in the record, indicating the tester did not identify any latent issues requiring owner attention before the next test cycle. The absence of defects across five consecutive passes implies the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, though this does not preclude hidden wear beyond MOT scope. The mileage progression of approximately 6,426 miles annually aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged stagnation. The recorded mileage increased steadily from 37,245 miles in February 2023 to 51,404 miles by February 2026, averaging around 1,300 miles per year—consistent with moderate, regular driving rather than heavy or neglectful use. There are no gaps longer than 12 months between tests, which suggests the vehicle was either kept in service or stored with periodic checks. However, the lack of mileage gaps does not guarantee thorough maintenance beyond MOT requirements. A buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common wear items on this model that often fail silently. The absence of brake-related defects in recent tests does not rule out uneven pad wear or binding calipers, so the condition of discs and pads—especially at the rear—should be verified. Structural integrity remains a concern given the vehicle’s age; corrosion at wheel arches, sills, and underbody should be examined closely, as should the exhaust system for leaks or rust-through. Given the clean MOT history, the engine and drivetrain are unlikely to present immediate issues, but a compression test and oil analysis would provide further reassurance on long-term reliability.
