2016 Peugeot 5008 1.6L Diesel · PN66 ABZ

The 2016 Peugeot 5008’s most recent MOT test on 2025-05-08—just over a year ago—shows a clean pass with no defects recorded, though the record also notes a duplicate entry for a failure at the same date and mileage (64,779 miles). This anomaly suggests either an administrative error or a retest after a minor oversight, but no substantive issues were identified. The preceding tests in 2024 and 2023 also passed without failings, indicating a stable maintenance pattern over the past three cycles. However, the absence of advisories or defects across all tests implies either meticulous upkeep or that critical components have yet to reach their typical failure thresholds for this mileage. The vehicle’s recorded mileage progression—from 50,861 miles in May 2023 to 64,779 miles in May 2025—averages approximately 6,478 miles per year, a rate consistent with typical light-to-moderate usage for its age. There are no evident gaps in service intervals or sudden spikes in mileage, though the lack of pre-MOT service records means we cannot confirm whether routine maintenance (e.g., fluid changes, suspension servicing) was performed. The most recent test date, however, is now over a year old, which exceeds the DVSA’s recommended 12-month interval for MOTs. While the vehicle remains legally roadworthy, this delay means some components—particularly brakes, tyres, and suspension—may have accumulated further wear since the last inspection. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on braking systems , especially the rear calipers and discs, as binding or uneven wear is often a silent issue that doesn’t always trigger MOT failings until advanced. The suspension should be checked for worn bushes (particularly at the rear), as these are common failure points around 65,000 miles and can lead to uneven tyre wear or handling issues. Corrosion at wheel arches, sills, and the subframe is another critical area, as the 2016 model is prone to structural rust in wet conditions. Finally, the exhaust system should be examined for leaks or excessive corrosion, particularly around the catalytic converter and oxygen sensors, which can cause emission-related failings if neglected. The absence of advisories in past tests suggests these areas may still be in reasonable condition, but visual confirmation is essential.
