2020 Peugeot 5008 1.5L Diesel · T999 JKT

The vehicle most recently passed its DVSA MOT test on 24 April 2026 with two advisories recorded against the front tyres, indicating that at the time of examination both offside and nearside front tyres were worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear. With only one prior MOT pass on file from December 2024, the maintenance record is relatively sparse but stable, showing no failures or immediate refusals and no escalation in advisory severity between tests. The presence of advisory items on a six year old vehicle is entirely consistent with normal wear patterns, though the specific nature of the front tyre edge wear warrants closer inspection as this can often point to an underlying geometry or suspension issue rather than simple friction wear. With 45,096 miles recorded over a six year service life, this Peugeot 5008 has covered approximately 7,516 miles annually, which sits comfortably within the expected range for a family-oriented SUV of this age and does not suggest either extreme low use or high motorway accumulation. The mileage appears to have accumulated steadily without dramatic spikes, and there is no indication of long periods of standing that might have accelerated calendar-based degradation of fluids, brakes, or rubber components. The annual rate is sufficient to have kept mechanical components reasonably active, which is generally favourable for the health of the drivetrain, exhaust system, and brake callipers, although it is still low enough that some age-related concerns should be considered. Given that the most recent advisories flag both front tyres as worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear, a prospective buyer should prioritise a careful inspection of the front suspension and steering geometry. Edge wear on front tyres frequently indicates misalignment, worn suspension bushes, or weak coil springs, and on a test drive you should listen for any knocking or clonking from the front end over speed humps and uneven surfaces, as well as noting any pulling to one side under braking or vague steering response. It would be wise to budget for a full set of front tyres at purchase and to have the wheel alignment checked and the front suspension inspected for play in the bushes, track rod ends, and drop links. Should the same tyres remain fitted at the point of sale, measure the tread depth directly and inspect the sidewalls for any uneven wear patterns, feathering, or scuffing that would confirm the underlying cause. Beyond the advisory items, the relatively modest annual mileage and the vehicle's age mean a thorough inspection should still address calendar-related deterioration. Check the sidewalls of all tyres for cracking or perishing caused by age rather than wear, examine the brake discs for any surface corrosion or binding callipers that may have developed during periods of lighter use, and verify the condition of the 12 volt battery as units of this age are often approaching the end of their service life. Inspect the underside and wheel arches for any signs of corrosion, particularly around structural mounting points, and confirm whether the brake fluid, coolant, and transmission fluid have been changed in line with manufacturer schedules, as these degrade over time regardless of mileage. Finally, request evidence of recent servicing stamps and cross check the service book against the recorded mileage to ensure the maintenance history is consistent and complete.
