Looking at a 5008?

Population figures cannot tell you whether one particular car is taxed, MOT-valid or safe to buy.

Check its registration free for the official tax, MOT and mileage record. If the car is still worth pursuing, the optional £9.99 full history check adds outstanding-finance, stolen and insurance write-off checks.

Wondering whether one particular 5008 is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the 5008 disappearing?

53,238 are licensed as of 2026 Q1 — the highest count in the published series, so the 5008 is still arriving on UK roads rather than leaving them. That is up 60% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 1,927 are declared SORN — 1 in 29 of the 55,165 still on the DVLA record is off the road, laid up, part-restored or waiting to be sold.

A falling population is worth knowing before you buy: it usually means fewer donor cars, fewer specialists and slower parts supply, and it is why a good example of a scarce model can hold its price while a neglected one is hard to sell at any price.

5008 MOT pass rate

In 2024, 68% of 24,786 Peugeot 5008 MOTs passed first time — below the 71.2% UK average. Pass rate moves with age: 81.2% of cars aged 3–5 years passed first time, against 50.2% aged 10–14 years.

  • Condition — 5.2% of tests. Corrosion, damage or wear on a tested component. Worth seeing in person, as the cost ranges from trivial to structural.
  • Mechanical Brake Components — 4.9% of tests. Worn discs, pads or callipers. Routine wear, but it should be priced into the deal.
  • Stop Lamp — 4.7% of tests. A brake light out. Usually a bulb.
  • Headlamp Aim — 3.9% of tests. Headlights pointing too high or low. Cheap to adjust, and common on every make.
