2023 Peugeot 508 1.2L Petrol · AV23 FPE

The most recent MOT, carried out on 27 March 2026, was passed but highlighted a number of wear items that are close to the legal limit. All four tyres are reported as “worn close to legal limit / worn on edge”, and every brake pad (front and rear, nearside and off‑side) is described as “wearing thin”. These are the only items flagged in the test. The pattern is clear: the vehicle’s consumables – tyres and brake pads – are reaching the end of their service life. With 48,418 miles on the clock after just over three years, the car averages about 16,000 miles per year, which is higher than typical for a 2023 model. That level of use accelerates wear on the suspension, steering and drivetrain components, and it explains why the tyre tread and brake pads are already at the minimum acceptable thickness. Because there is only a single MOT record, we cannot see a longer‑term trend, but the current condition suggests the wear is progressing rather than stabilising. If the car has been driven hard or primarily on motorways, the high mileage would have contributed to the rapid tyre and brake consumption. Conversely, the mileage figure alone does not tell us whether the car has had periods of inactivity that might have allowed other components to deteriorate unnoticed. For a prospective buyer the priority should be a hands‑on inspection of the following: Tyre condition – check for uneven wear, sidewall damage or dry rot, and verify that the remaining tread depth is sufficient for safe use or replacement.
