2012 Peugeot 508 1.6L Diesel · SG62 AFF

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, though the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than preventative service approach. The most recent MOT recorded in November 2022 at 109,933 miles passed despite minor defects involving an inoperative registration plate lamp and play in the nearside rear anti-roll bar linkage. Given that this test occurred over three and a half years ago, the vehicle is currently significantly overdue for its MOT, necessitating an immediate inspection to ensure the mechanical condition has not deteriorated. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a fourteen-year-old car, averaging approximately 7,850 miles per year. Data shows a steady progression from 36,702 miles in 2015 to 109,933 miles in late 2022. There is a notable gap of over 14,000 miles between 2021 and 2022 tests, suggesting a period of higher usage or a change in ownership which can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid despite the relatively low overall mileage. A buyer should specifically inspect the rear suspension components, as the anti-roll bar ball joint was flagged with play in both 2019 and 2022. This recurring issue suggests the bushings or joints are reaching the end of their life. The braking system also shows a history of wear with 2020 flagging thin pads and pitted discs, indicating that the previous owner only replaced components when they approached failure. A physical check of the current brake disc thickness and tyre condition is essential, as the rear tyres were previously noted nearing the legal limit in 2020.
