2019 Peugeot 5008 1.6L Petrol · MH19 BWA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive care. The most recent test in May 2026 at 50,102 miles passed with only a minor advisory regarding an inoperative nearside rear plate lamp. While the immediate mechanical status is passing, the previous years show a consistent pattern of critical components being addressed only after failing an MOT test. The mileage progression is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle averaging approximately 7,157 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 11,669 miles between the April 2024 test at 27,188 miles and the April 2025 test at 38,857 miles, followed by another 11,245 miles leading to the May 2026 test. This steady usage suggests the car is driven regularly, which explains the standard wear-and-tear on consumable items like brakes and tyres recorded during these intervals. A buyer must pay close attention to the braking system, as the record shows recurring failures for thin pads and discs. In April 2024, the front brakes failed for wear, and by April 2025, both the rear pads and discs reached the limit of their service life. This recurring trend indicates that the previous owner waited until components were near-failure before replacing them. The 2025 failure also highlighted all four tyres being worn to the legal limit with uneven edges, which may indicate underlying alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that require physical inspection. The physical inspection should verify the current state of the rear brake components to ensure the recent replacements were performed to a standard. Given the history of uneven tyre wear, the tester should check for any signs of binding calipers or vibration during braking. The front windscreen washer system, which failed in 2024, should also be tested to ensure the fault was rectified, as it was not mentioned in subsequent passes.
