2012 Peugeot 508 2.0L Diesel · YB12 ADX

The most recent MOT on 8 November 2023 at 112,910 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, confirming the Peugeot 508 stood roadworthy at that examination. The maintenance trend across the five available tests reads stable, showing annual passes from November 2020 through November 2023 and no advisories on suspension, brakes, or structure. On 31 October 2022 the DVSA tester recorded a failure at 103,537 miles yet logged no defects, then issued a pass later the same day at identical mileage. That anomaly implies a procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage accumulation sits at roughly 8,065 miles per year over the vehicle's fourteen-year life, a typical figure for a 2012 executive hatchback. The odometer moved from 91,463 miles on 26 November 2020 to 96,557 miles on 2 November 2021, then to 103,537 miles on 31 October 2022, and reached 112,910 miles on 8 November 2023. Yearly increments of five to nine thousand miles reveal no rapid wear spikes or long dormant periods. The sparse record limits deep fault tracking, but the clean defect logs suggest prior keepers kept basic upkeep current. Prospective buyers should still commission a hands-on inspection of age-prone components. The MOT sheets flag no worn suspension bushes, fractured coil springs, lipped brake discs, or corrosion to structural members, yet a 112,000-mile Peugeot of this era commonly develops play in front MacPherson struts and rear trailing arm bushes. Examine subframe and sill integrity for rust, test brake calipers for binding, and confirm exhaust emissions including any diesel particulate filter function. A clean test certificate confirms only minimum roadworthiness on the day. The unexplained failure with zero defects on 31 October 2022 warrants scrutiny of the V5C and service history to rule out missed rectification work. Prior owners appear to have sustained the car to pass standard, but the thin documentary trail means a pre-purchase mechanical appraisal remains essential.
