2014 Peugeot 5008 1.6L Diesel · ZSU 960

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows the emergence of mechanical wear-related issues. The most recent test in February 2026 at 102,281 miles identified a minor defect regarding play in the nearside front suspension arm ball joint. This represents a shift from the perfectly clean records seen in previous years, indicating that components components are now beginning to reach the end of their service life due to age and mileage. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical family car profile of this age, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per annum. There is a notable gap in records between December 2022 at 71,612 miles and January 2024 at 82,166 miles, during which the vehicle covered over 10,000 miles in thirteen months. Since then, the accumulation has remained steady, with nearly 20,000 miles recorded in the last two years. This suggests regular usage, which justifies the gradual degradation of rubber components and mechanical joints. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension to assess the extent of the play on the ball joint flagged in the 2026 test. Given that the offside front tyre was noted for perishing and cracking in 2025, the condition of all remaining tyres should be checked for sidewall fatigue or uneven wear caused by the age. While the history shows no structural corrosion or recurring brake failures, the transition to recorded defects necessitates a focus on suspension bushings, links, and exhaust hangers as the vehicle exceeds the six-figure mileage mark.
