2011 Peugeot 508 1.6L Diesel · LT61 AEO

The 2011 Peugeot 508 passed its most recent MOT on 3 August 2023 at 173,772 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a currently roadworthy status. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the test history shows a recurring pattern of administrative failures immediately followed by passes at near-identical mileages, which points to paperwork or presentation issues rather than mechanical decline. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical 11,585 miles per year for a fifteen-year-old vehicle. The records show 155,472 miles at the August 2021 test, rising to 163,370 by July 2022 and 173,772 by August 2023, a steady roughly 9,000 to 10,000 miles annually. No prolonged standing or rapid accumulation is evident, and the sparse clean history with only two failed entries two days apart in 2022 and 2023 suggests basic statutory testing was kept current. The 1 August 2023 failure at 173,763 miles and 22 July 2022 failure at 163,369 miles both list no defects, with passes logged two days later at 173,772 and 163,370 miles respectively. This pattern implies the vehicle was presented with missing documentation or minor non-mechanical compliance gaps rather than worn tyres, failed emissions, or suspension faults. Previous owners maintained the car to a passable standard but cut close on retest timing. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural corrosion, coil springs, suspension bushes, and brake disc wear given the high mileage and age. The MOT record offers no advisories to flag emerging problems, so in-person checks of drivetrain condition and underbody integrity remain essential before purchase.
