Buyer's inspection checklist

🔧Engine & Drivetrain

Cold start and idle quality — THP engines prone to pre-ignition knock if fuel quality poor or carbon buildup high.

Automatic gearbox fluid colour & level — Dark or burnt-smelling fluid indicates thermal stress; verify transmission history.

🚗Body & Exterior

Sunroof seals and drainage — Peugeot panoramic sunroofs occasionally clog; water leaks cause interior mould.

Door and tailgate alignment — Check for panel gaps and wind noise; 5008 can suffer stress cracks in D-pillars if abused.

💡Interior & Electronics

8-inch touchscreen responsiveness — 2024 units occasionally lag on start-up; firmware updates improve performance.

Climate control calibration — Dual-zone AC on Allure; refrigerant leaks or blend-door faults are common by 40k km.

📋Service History

Full Peugeot service records — Warranty validity requires dealer stamps; independent shops void some claims.

Brake fluid and coolant change history — THP engines run hot; coolant degradation by 40k km is routine maintenance.
