Peugeot 5008 (2010)
2010 Peugeot 5008
CarHunch analysed 3,718 real MOT records for the 2010 Peugeot 5008. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2010 Peugeot 5008 is a troubling proposition: its 70.9% first-time pass rate sits well below the UK average of 80%, and over half of these vehicles (53.5%) have recorded at least one dangerous defect, which is a significant buyer concern. Diesel and petrol versions perform identically poorly at around 70% pass rates, so fuel choice won't improve your odds here.
At nearly 80,000 miles median, these seven-year-old family cars are running as expected for their age, yet they're racking up an average of 4.57 failures and 22.3 advisories per test—suggesting chronic issues rather than one-off problems. Before buying one, get a full pre-purchase inspection focused on suspension, braking, and structural corrosion, as the high failure count points to systemic wear that catches owners off guard.
What to check before buying a 2010 Peugeot 5008
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.
- ⚠️ 53.5% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
