2016 Peugeot 5008 1.6L Diesel · YP16 FYF

A clean and stable roadworthiness profile defines this 2016 Peugeot 5008, with the DVSA record showing three consecutive pass results and no advisories, defects, or component flags across any of the recorded tests. The pattern of a pass followed immediately by a fail in 2024 and again in 2025, both with no defects recorded, is a known administrative feature of the MOT system, typically reflecting a re-test carried out after a same-day rectification rather than any mechanical concern. The most recent test on 15 July 2025 resulted in a clean pass with no advisories, and the 2023 entry on 20 July shows an equally clean outcome. With no recorded brake, suspension, tyre, exhaust, or corrosion advisories anywhere in the history, there is no documented evidence of progressive wear or chronic component issues to raise immediate concern. The recorded mileage of 87,570 miles across approximately ten years of use equates to an annual accumulation of around 8,757 miles, which sits comfortably within the typical range for a family-oriented crossover of this age and class. There are no extended gaps between testing dates that would suggest a prolonged period off the road, and the consistent year-on-year testing pattern indicates the vehicle has remained in regular service throughout its life. This level of usage is sufficient to keep mechanical components, seals, and lubricants functioning as intended without inducing the accelerated wear that often accompanies higher-mileage examples, particularly on suspension bushes, dampers, and brake components. For a prospective buyer, the absence of any flagged components means attention should focus on age- and mileage-related wear items typical of a Peugeot 5008 approaching a decade of service. On a test drive, listen for any knocking or clonking from the front suspension over uneven surfaces, particularly from the lower control arm bushes and anti-roll bar drop links, which are known wear points on the PF2 platform. Check for any vagueness or self-centring issues in the steering, as worn rear suspension bushings can introduce instability at speed. Feel for any vibration through the steering wheel under braking, which would suggest warped front discs, and listen for any scraping or grinding that might indicate worn pads or a binding caliper, especially given that no brake condition was formally recorded at the most recent test. A thorough physical examination should also include a careful inspection of the underside for any emerging corrosion, particularly around the rear axle mounting points, subframe, and brake pipes, as these areas are commonly flagged on older Peugeot products even when the MOT record remains clean. Inspect the condition of the tyres for even shoulder wear, which can point to misalignment or worn suspension geometry, and verify that the engine bay is free from oil misting or coolant staining around the rocker cover and water pump area. Given the clean advisory history, a standard pre-purchase inspection combined with a test drive covering motorway cruising, town manoeuvring, and broken-road sections should provide sufficient reassurance that this 5008 remains mechanically sound.
