2024 Peugeot E-5008 GT Electricity · LT74 WMD

The most recent MOT, dated 28 April 2026, was passed but highlighted a serious issue: the constant‑velocity (CV) boot on both front outer drive‑shaft joints is severely deteriorated. A failing CV boot allows grease to escape and contaminants to enter the joint, which can quickly lead to joint failure and loss of drive‑shaft function – a safety‑critical problem. The previous MOT, on 30 October 2025, showed no recorded defects. The appearance of the CV‑boot deterioration between the two tests indicates a new, worsening condition rather than a stable trend. With no earlier record of this fault, the vehicle’s mechanical health appears to be declining in this area. At roughly 50,300 miles for a two‑year‑old model, the mileage is well above the typical average (about 25,000 mi yr⁻¹). This suggests the car has been driven hard or for long distances, which accelerates wear on consumables such as CV joints, suspension components, brakes and the drivetrain. While high mileage alone does not prove neglect, it does raise the likelihood of accelerated degradation, especially in parts that are already showing wear. For a prospective buyer the priority is to inspect the front drive‑shaft CV boots and joints. Look for fresh grease leaks, cracks or dry, brittle boot material, and feel for any vibration or clicking when turning the steering wheel at low speed.
