The 2020 5008 is the second‑generation, SUV‑styled 7‑seat Peugeot — most petrol examples use the 1.2L PureTech turbo with a 6‑speed manual. The third row is usually optional and very tight for adults, so check how the seats fold and lock; petrol engines are peppy in town but will be thirstier than diesel on long runs. As this is a manual, pay particular attention to clutch and gear action and check whether any manufacturer service campaigns/recalls have been completed.

• Clutch bite and gear‑change feel for slipping or heavy engagement (6‑year manuals often need a check).
• Third‑row seat operation and latches, plus seatbelt anchor points and how much boot space remains with 7 seats in place.
• Engine for oil leaks, excessive oil consumption or turbo noises under boost (PureTech engines should be quiet and smooth).
• Suspension and steering for knocks, uneven tyre wear or worn anti‑roll bushings on rough Irish roads.
• Evidence that any relevant Peugeot recalls/service bulletins have been done (software updates, recall repairs).
