The 2013 Peugeot 5008 is a below-average performer, with a 71.6% first-time pass rate well short of the UK's 80%, and a troubling 61.3% of vehicles have suffered a dangerous defect at some point—a genuine safety concern for used buyers. The diesel variant (which dominates the market at 2,829 of 2,911 cars) shows no meaningful difference at 71.5%, so fuel choice isn't the issue here.
These cars are running at reasonable mileage for their age (median 68,995 miles), yet averaging nearly 4 failures and 17.5 advisories per test, suggesting systematic wear and component degradation rather than isolated problems. Before buying, budget for a pre-purchase inspection that specifically covers suspension, braking, and electrical systems—the high advisory count points to creeping deterioration that will cost money to fix.
