2021 Peugeot 5008 GT Bluehdi S/s

CarHunch analysed 438 real MOT records for the 2021 Peugeot 5008 GT Bluehdi S/s. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2021 Peugeot 5008 GT BlueHDi passes its MOT first time in 80.6% of cases, which matches the UK average of 80%—a solid, unremarkable result that suggests no particular reliability weakness for this diesel model. With 11.4% of vehicles having recorded a dangerous defect at some point, the risk is moderate and manageable rather than alarming.

At a median mileage of just over 41,000 miles, these are still relatively young cars, and the low failure rate of 0.3 per vehicle confirms they're holding up well so far. The typical advisory count of 2.1 per test points to minor wear items rather than structural problems—focus your pre-purchase inspection on the transmission and suspension components that commonly trigger advisories on this generation, and consider a full dealer service history as your best insurance against surprise repairs.

What to check before buying a 2021 Peugeot 5008 GT Bluehdi S/s

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
