Peugeot 5008 T87
The first-generation Peugeot 5008 (T87) is a five-door, seven-seat multi-purpose vehicle that shares its engine range with the 3008 crossover. Documented here are the 1.6 THP 156 turbocharged petrol, the 1.6 HDi 110 diesel and the 2.0 HDi 150 diesel, all with six-speed manual gearboxes and front-wheel drive.
The 1.6 HDi 110's turbocharger oil supply deserves particular attention on this bodyshell: a seven-seat MPV is more often driven fully loaded with passengers and luggage than a hatchback, which stresses a marginal oil supply harder. On a lift, inspect the oil feed pipe and its banjo union for the wear pattern documented on this engine, and ask directly about towing or habitual full-load use. The 1.6 THP petrol and 2.0 HDi diesel follow the same inspection routes described for their engine families elsewhere in this contour.
To judge a specific car, confirm the third-row seats are present, fold correctly, and that the seatbelts and ISOFIX points for all seven positions are undamaged — a practical check specific to this bodyshell. Get a full fault-code read across all control units and keep the printout, and have a franchised dealer run the VIN to check for any open manufacturer actions.
