With 3 Peugeot 5008 models currently listed on Motoring.Today, buyers can review their MOT reliability data. This model achieved a DVSA national pass rate of 74.73% across 29,122 tests. While this figure reflects the condition of cars presented for testing, not the absolute reliability of the model over its lifetime, it provides insight into common issues that owners face. Failures tend to cluster with a vehicle's age and general upkeep, rather than the badge itself. The most frequent MOT failure category for the Peugeot 5008 is 'Lighting & electrical', accounting for 37% of failures. This often means issues with bulbs, wiring, or light aim, which can be relatively inexpensive to fix but are critical for safe driving. 'Tyres' contribute 20% of failures, typically due to insufficient tread depth or damage. 'Brakes' follow at 17%, indicating worn pads, discs, or hydraulic system problems, all essential for safety. For anyone considering a used Peugeot 5008, these figures highlight key areas to inspect before purchase. A thorough check of all lights, tyre condition, and the braking system, ideally by a qualified mechanic, would be prudent. The cheapest example available starts at £13,995, with representative monthly finance from £303, subject to status.
