2019 Peugeot 5008 1.5L Diesel · NX69 CVP

The 2019 Peugeot 5008 presents a mixed maintenance picture. The most recent MOT on 25 September 2025 at 92,750 miles passed, but the tester flagged both front tyres worn close to the legal limit and approaching wear-bar indicators. This is not an isolated incident. The same advisory appeared in September 2024 at 76,915 miles on the offside front, and again in September 2023 at 56,860 miles on both rear tyres. A recurring pattern of running tyres down to the minimum tread depth before replacement suggests a reactive rather than proactive approach to basic upkeep. The trend is stable in the sense that the car consistently passes its MOT, but the repeated tyre wear advisories indicate consumables are being left to degrade right to the legal boundary. The mileage accumulation tells a clear story. Between the September 2022 test at 39,950 miles and September 2023 at 56,860 miles, the car covered 16,915 miles in a single year. The following year, from September 2023 to September 2024, it added another 20,055 miles, reaching 76,915. That is exceptionally high annual use for a family SUV. From September 2024 to September 2025, the mileage increased by 15,835 miles to 92,750, which is still well above the typical 10,000 to 12,000 miles per year. This sustained high mileage places accelerated wear on suspension bushes, brake components, drivetrain mounts, and the exhaust system. The car has not been sitting idle; it has been driven hard and often. The 2023 test at 56,860 miles is the most technically revealing entry. The tester flagged front brake pads wearing thin, rear brake pads three-quarters worn, and rear brake discs showing a slight rust lip. A nail was also found in the offside rear tyre. These are not major failures, but they cluster around the braking system and tyre integrity at a relatively early point in the vehicle's life, consistent with high-mileage use. The rear brake disc wear and pad degradation at under 57,000 miles on a vehicle of this type is notable. Buyers should inspect the current condition of all brake discs and pads, paying particular attention to the rears, and check for any uneven wear or binding calipers that could indicate a developing fault. A prospective buyer should focus the physical inspection on the underside and suspension components. High-mileage Peugeot 5008s are known to develop wear in front suspension bushes, drop links, and anti-roll bar mountings. Check for play in the steering and any knocking over rough surfaces. Examine the exhaust system for corrosion, particularly around joints and the rear silencer, as high annual mileage accelerates heat cycling and rust. The structural integrity of the subframes and suspension mounting points should be inspected for any signs of corrosion or cracking. Tyre condition should be checked across all four corners, including the spare if fitted, given the documented history of running tyres to the legal limit. The braking system deserves a thorough assessment, including fluid condition, as repeated high-mileage use without documented servicing intervals could mean the fluid has absorbed moisture and lost effectiveness.
