2012 Peugeot 508 2.0L Diesel · YB12 AET

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 22 September 2025 at 188,889 miles recorded no defects, indicating the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. This lack of advisories or failures suggests the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical issues before they resulted in test failures. The mileage profile reflects high annual usage for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 13,500 miles per year. Between September 2021 and September 2025, the car covered 56,258 miles, showing a consistent rate of long-distance travel rather than periods of neglect. The jump of 18,797 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests highlights that the vehicle is used regularly, which often helps prevent engine-related issues but places significant stress on the drivetrain, turbocharger, and suspension components. Given the high mileage and age, a thorough physical inspection must focus on components prone to high-mileage fatigue. A buyer should examine the suspension geometry for signs of perished rubber in control arm bushes and check shock absorbers for leaks, as are common beyond 150,000 miles. While the MOT record is clean, the braking system should be checked for thin discs or scoring, and the structural integrity of the underbody and sills must be verified to ensure that road-salt corrosion has not compromised the frame.
