2020 Peugeot 5008 1.5L Diesel · NL70 HBO

This Peugeot 5008 has demonstrated a consistent roadworthiness record over the past two years, with all MOT tests—including the most recent on 21 August 2025—passing without any defects or advisories. The absence of recurring issues across four consecutive tests suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, though the lack of advisories does not imply proactive servicing beyond statutory requirements. The most recent test, conducted just over a year ago at 56,072 miles, aligns with the current mileage, indicating the vehicle has not yet reached its next mandatory inspection. This stability is notable, but it also means there is no evidence of preemptive maintenance beyond what is legally required. The mileage progression reveals a steady accumulation of approximately 9,345 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps or abrupt jumps in mileage, though the intervals between tests—ranging from 11 to 13 months—are slightly longer than the DVSA’s recommended 12-month maximum. The most extended period between tests occurred between July 2023 (31,627 miles) and July 2024 (43,074 miles), a span of 12 months, which is acceptable but suggests the vehicle may have been driven more than usual during that period. Overall, the mileage pattern does not indicate neglect, but it also does not reflect regular servicing beyond the MOT cycle. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear components that are not routinely checked during an MOT. The suspension—particularly the rear coil springs and bushes—should be examined for uneven wear or corrosion, as these are common points of failure in vehicles of this age and mileage. The brake system, including calipers, pads, and discs, warrants close attention, especially if the vehicle has been driven hard or in stop-start conditions, as binding calipers or uneven wear could develop without being flagged in an MOT. Additionally, the underbody and wheel arches should be inspected for corrosion, as the 5008’s aluminium bodywork can be susceptible to hidden rust in less visible areas. The exhaust system and emissions controls should also be checked, as these are not always thoroughly tested in an MOT and can degrade silently over time.
