The 2017 Peugeot 5008 edges past the UK average with an 80.8% first-time pass rate, though the headline concern is that 41.8% of these vehicles have recorded a dangerous defect at some point—well above what you'd want to see. Petrol versions pass slightly more reliably (82.6%) than diesels (79.9%), suggesting the petrol engine is the more robust choice if you're comparing used examples.
These cars are running at typical mileage for their age (50,000 miles median), but they're racking up nearly 10 advisories per test on average, indicating persistent minor wear issues rather than catastrophic faults. Before making an offer, request the full MOT history and have a mechanic specifically inspect the braking system and suspension—the high failure count points to these areas as chronic trouble spots on this generation.
The 2017 Peugeot 5008 has a decent first-time pass rate (80.8%), but a higher-than-average share of vehicles have had serious defects recorded — the individual vehicle's history matters a lot here.
