2016 Peugeot 5008 Active Blue HDI S/S 1.6L Diesel · RAZ 310

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with the most recent test on 20 October 2025 resulting in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a stable trend of clean passes dating back to 2022, although a failure was noted on 5 September 2022, which was resolved three days later. The absence of recurring advisories across multiple years suggests a stable mechanical state relative to the statutory minimum standards. The recorded mileage of 127,997 miles is high for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 12,800 miles per year. This usage pattern indicates significant wear on consumables and long-term stress on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems. The regularity of the testing intervals confirms the vehicle has been in continuous operation rather than suffering from the degradation associated with long-term standing. Despite the clean MOT history, the high mileage necessitates a focused physical inspection of the chassis and suspension. During a test drive, listen for knocks or clunks over uneven surfaces, which would indicate wear in the suspension bushes or coil springs. Check for any steering pull or vibration at motorway speeds to ensure the alignment and steering rack remain within operational tolerances. Particular attention should be paid to the drivetrain and braking performance. Feel for any pedal judder or uneven braking force, which could signal warped brake discs or binding calipers. Given the mileage on the Blue HDI engine, ensure the vehicle accelerates smoothly without hesitation and that there are no unusual vibrations through the transmission during gear changes.
