2020 Peugeot 508 1.5L Diesel · AF70 LCU

The 2020 Peugeot 508 is currently roadworthy following its most recent MOT test on 2023-09-15, where it passed with minor advisories. The maintenance trend shows a slight deterioration in the preceding test, as the vehicle failed the same month due to excessive exhaust emissions and thin front brake pads, despite the identical mileage. This indicates that while the car remains compliant with current standards, there is a recurring issue with emissions and brake wear that may require attention before the next test. The recorded mileage of 45,624 miles over six years equates to approximately 7,600 miles annually, which is within the expected range for a vehicle of this age. The MOT history reveals a very narrow gap between the two tests—only two miles difference—suggesting the car was driven infrequently during this period. There are no significant gaps in the MOT record, and the absence of earlier entries may reflect a recent change in ownership or a delay in testing, but the data available shows consistent, low-mileage usage. Buyers should conduct a thorough inspection of the front braking system, as thin brake pads were flagged twice in close succession. Pay close attention to the rear brakes, which were not mentioned in the MOT results but may be subject to similar wear. The exhaust emissions failure warrants investigation into the catalytic converter, oxygen sensors, or fuel system, as this is a common issue in Peugeot models. Additionally, check for corrosion on the suspension components and wheel arches, as well as the structural integrity of the body, particularly around the rear section where rust can develop over time. The windscreen chip is minor and not a safety concern, but ensure it does not worsen with continued use.
