2012 Peugeot 508 2.0L Diesel · YB12 AAV

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2023-10-09 at 201,523 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but the subsequent test on the same date was a fail with no defects noted. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative error or unrecorded issues. No defects have been logged in the past three MOTs, indicating a stable maintenance trend in terms of visible faults. However, the lack of testing since October 2023 raises concerns about unverified compliance with road safety standards. The vehicle’s mileage of 201,523 miles at 14 years old equates to 14,394 miles annually, significantly above average. A 14,000-mile leap from 171,951 miles (2021-10-05) to 201,523 miles (2023-10-09) suggests rapid usage over two years, increasing wear on consumables and mechanical systems. The MOT history shows no major defects, but the sparse data—particularly the absence of tests between 2023 and 2026—limits insight into ongoing maintenance. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, given the high mileage, and check brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or corrosion. The exhaust system and body corrosion, especially around wheel arches and underbody panels, warrant scrutiny. While no faults were recorded, the vehicle’s age and usage pattern imply potential hidden issues requiring a detailed pre-purchase inspection.
