2013 Peugeot 5008 1.6L Diesel · MW63 LZP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the recent MOT history indicates a worsening trend regarding reactive maintenance. While it passed its most recent test in October 2025 at 94,045 miles, it failed the inspection just four miles prior due to multiple defects. The failure included a supplementary restraint system warning lamp and perished anti-roll bar linkage dust covers on both front sides, suggesting that the previous owner only addressed faults when necessitated by an MOT failure rather than performing preventative mechanical checks. The mileage pattern remains consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year over its 13-year lifespan. There is a steady accumulation of mileage, with roughly 10,000 miles covered between October 2023 and October 2024, and another 12,000 miles in the year leading up to the October 2025 test. This regular use suggests the car has not sat for long periods, which generally benefits the engine but contributes to the inevitable degradation of rubber-based components and tyre wear as seen in the recent records. A buyer must inspect the front suspension closely, as the repeated failures of the anti-roll bar linkage dust covers indicate a vulnerability to dirt ingress and premature joint wear. The recurring issue of uneven tyre wear on the front and nearside across 2024 and 2025 suggests a persistent alignment problem or worn suspension bushes that have not been professionally rectified. Furthermore, the SRS warning lamp fault recorded in the October 2025 failure must be verified to ensure the airbag system is fully functional and not merely cleared of codes, as this represents a significant safety risk.
