The 2014 Peugeot 5008 has a first-time MOT pass rate of 73.7%, which sits below the UK average of 80%—a meaningful gap suggesting these cars tend to need more remedial work before passing. More concerning is that 55.9% of these vehicles have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, well above what you'd want to see and a genuine safety consideration for any buyer.

At a median mileage of 62,741 miles, these are reasonably worn cars by now, and the average of 3.27 failures per vehicle reflects the accumulated wear typical of a nearly decade-old family MPV. Budget for around 15 advisories per car when it goes for test, and prioritise a pre-purchase inspection focusing on brakes, suspension, and emissions components—the dangerous defect prevalence suggests these areas are where this model struggles most.

The 2014 Peugeot 5008 has a below-average first-time pass rate (73.7% vs ~80% UK average) — check the specific vehicle's full MOT history carefully before buying.

⚠️ Over 1 in 5 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
⚠️ Below average. More vehicles in this cohort fail their first MOT than typical. Scrutinise this vehicle's history — look for recurring issues, not just the latest result.
🔧 Expect consumable spend. An average of 14.6 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 2,022 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.
