Quick summary
Total: 1,712 cars
The 2016 Peugeot 5008 has a higher overall defect rate of 208 per 100 vehicles compared to the yearly average of 151 per 100, marking it 38% worse than average. Notably, defects tend to increase with mileage, particularly in the higher mileage segments where the 5008 shows a significant rise in issues. While the model performs better in steering defects, it has substantial shortcomings in areas such as brakes, lights and electrics, body structure, and other categories, all of which have much higher defect rates compared to the average car of the same year. This suggests that while the 5008 may offer some advantages in handling, it faces notable challenges in critical safety and structural aspects.
