2013 Peugeot 508 2.0L Diesel · H4 KWM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test in November 2025 at 81,310 miles identified several developing mechanical and electrical defects that were absent in previous years. While the car passed, the appearance of play in the anti-roll bar linkage ball joints and a marginal park brake efficiency suggests that components are beginning to degrade. The park brake reading of 17% is dangerously close to the minimum threshold, indicating the system requires adjustment or attention. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,255 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 19,311 miles between October 2022 and October 2023, followed by a steady increase of roughly 7,000 miles per year through 2024 and 2025. This low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain, but the long periods of standing can sometimes cause rubber components to perish, which may be linked to the suspension-related issues noted in the latest record. A buyer must specifically inspect the front and rear suspension for further wear beyond the flagged anti-roll bar linkages. The recurring history of worn tyres and uneven inflation across 2022 and 2024 suggests potential alignment issues or neglected tyre pressures that should be verified on-site. The parking brake system requires a thorough test, as the current 17% efficiency leaves almost no margin for further degradation. Additionally, the damaged offside rear lamp lens and inoperative registration plate lamp need immediate replacement to ensure the vehicle remains fully compliant with lighting regulations.
