This 2021 Peugeot 5008 is a genuinely reliable performer, with a 90.2% first-time pass rate that sits well clear of the UK average of 80%—and only 12.2% of these vehicles have ever picked up a dangerous defect, which is reassuringly low. You're looking at a car that rarely needs major work, averaging just 0.28 failures per vehicle across the cohort.

The median mileage of 27,347 miles is exactly where you'd expect a three-year-old car to be, so no hidden heavy use here. The 2.5 advisories per vehicle suggest minor wear items crop up (trim, lights, wipers), but nothing that signals deeper trouble—if you're buying one, a pre-purchase inspection focusing on suspension and brake wear will give you confidence, but the odds are firmly in your favour.

The 2021 Peugeot 5008 GT Prem P Tech S/s Auto passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (91.3% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.

⚠️ Around 1 in 8 of these vehicles have had a dangerous MOT failure at some point — usually tyres or brakes, and often a one-off issue rather than a persistent problem. The group stats won't tell you which one you're looking at.

For context

✅ Good baseline reliability. A 91.3% first-time pass rate puts this well above the UK average — it's a well-sorted vehicle in this age bracket.

🔧 Expect consumable spend. An average of 2.5 advisories per vehicle tells you wear items (tyres, brakes) get flagged regularly. Budget for them — they're not surprises.

🔍 The dangerous defect figure is real. Most are one-off tyre failures or brake issues — not structural problems. But it's exactly why checking the individual vehicle's history is essential, not optional.

These stats describe 639 vehicles as a group. The specific vehicle you're looking at could be the one good example or the one outlier. Run its registration to find out.
