2012 Peugeot 508 2.0L Diesel · YB12 ACU

This Peugeot 508 presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 September 2025 at 137,413 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over several years, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is typical for a 14 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 9,815 miles per year. The data shows a steady increase in usage, moving from 101,133 miles in August 2022 to 137,413 miles by September 2025. A slight anomaly appears in August 2024, where the car failed a test on 12 August at 122,467 miles and passed eight days later at 122,951 miles. The record does not specify the failure reason, but the rapid resolution suggests a minor defect was corrected immediately. Despite the clean MOT history, the high total mileage necessitates a physical inspection of wear-and-tear components. The tester did not flag any issues, but a buyer should manually check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often degrade on high-mileage Peugeots without triggering an immediate MOT failure. Checking for binding calipers and the remaining thickness of the brake discs is also advisable. The absence of structural corrosion or exhaust emissions failures in the records is a positive indicator of the car's overall integrity. However, because the MOT is a snapshot of safety rather than a comprehensive health check, you should verify the service history for oil changes and timing belt intervals. These drivetrain maintenance items are critical for a vehicle of this age and mileage but are not captured in the DVSA test records.
