2015 Peugeot 5008 1.6L Diesel · YK65 YOY

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy, though the maintenance history suggests a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent recorded test in March 2023 at 155,067 miles passed despite a noted oil leak. While the vehicle has consistently passed its tests recently, the lack of an MOT record for the past three years up to July 2026 is a significant concern. This extended gap leaves the current state of safety-critical components and emissions systems unknown without a fresh inspection. The mileage profile is high for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 14,000 miles per year. There is a notable surge in usage between June 2019 (55,825 miles) and March 2021 (94,922 miles), where the car covered nearly 40,000 miles in under two years. This rapid accumulation places significant strain on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking system. The interval of 20,000 miles between February 2022 and March 2023 indicates continued high-intensity use, which accelerates the wear of consumable parts and rubber bushings. A buyer must investigate the reported oil leak from the March 2023 test to determine if it has worsened into a significant seal failure. The recurring history of issues with headlamp alignment and uneven tyre wear suggests a history of neglecting basic geometry and suspension-related maintenance. Given the high mileage and the previous mention of pitted brake discs in 2019, a thorough inspection of the brake lines, caliper condition, and shock absorbers is essential. The structural integrity of the underbody should also be verified, as high-mileage vehicles often suffer from hidden corrosion on mounting points and exhaust members.
