2016 Peugeot 508 2.0L Diesel · BN16 OUC

This Peugeot 508 has just failed its most recent MOT in May 2026, presenting several significant safety and mechanical concerns. The vehicle has covered 215,444 miles, which averages to over 21,000 miles per year. This is high mileage for a ten-year-old car, suggesting heavy use that likely accelerates the wear on suspension, braking, and engine components. The mechanical trend is clearly worsening. While previous years saw issues primarily with tyres and brake pads, the latest inspection has identified more serious structural and engine-related faults. The failure includes a fractured rear coil spring and an excessively worn front suspension arm bush, alongside exhaust emissions exceeding the limit for a turbocharged engine. The presence of smoke emissions is a major concern for a high-mileage vehicle. Combined with the suspension failures and previous issues with worn brake discs, this suggests the car is reaching a stage of significant mechanical fatigue. The high annual mileage supports the idea that the vehicle has been driven heavily, leading to these cumulative failures. You must ensure all the faults from the May 2026 failure have been professionally rectified with receipts to prove it.
