Is the 2019 5008 getting worse?

Pass rate of 2019-registered cars across recent test years:

Test year	Pass rate
2023	86.7% -3.1 vs same-age
2024	84.1% -4.2 vs same-age

FAQs

Is a 2019 Peugeot 5008 reliable?

2019-registered examples passed 84.3% of their MOT tests (15,386 tests, 2023–2025), -4.1 points versus all UK cars registered in the same year. At roughly 7 years old with a median 42,667 miles, condition now varies car by car — always check the individual MOT history.

What mileage is too high for a 2019 5008?

The median tested example shows 42,667 miles. Anything far beyond that isn't automatically bad — a motorway-mile car with consistent service records often beats a low-mileage school-run car — but price accordingly and scrutinise the mileage trail for gaps or drops.
