2012 Peugeot 508 2.0L Diesel · YB12 AEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a clean result in its latest MOT test. The most recent inspection conducted on 12 March 2025 at 146,775 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car is currently meeting the minimum legal standards. While the history shows previous failures, the transition to clean passes in the last two annual cycles suggests that identified mechanical or safety issues were addressed and rectified by the owner. The recorded mileage of 146,775 miles over 14 years averages to approximately 10,484 miles per annum, which aligns closely with typical UK usage patterns for a saloon of this age. The data shows consistent use, with a 13,989-mile gap between October 2022 and March 2024, and another 7,565 miles between March 2024 and March 2025. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to seal degradation or brake-related corrosion. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components that caused the failures in 2022 and 2024, although the records provided do not specify the exact nature of those faults. Given the high mileage and age, a thorough check of the front suspension rubber bushes, coil springs, and wish arms is necessary, as these are common points of wear on the Peugeot 508 platform. One should also inspect for structural corrosion on the chassis and exhaust system to ensure that no hidden rust is compromising the structural integrity despite the recent passing MOT results.
