2015 Peugeot 508 2.0L Diesel · BP64 FNX

Persistent wear within the suspension and drivetrain components defines the mechanical profile of this vehicle, which successfully passed its most recent MOT on 12 January 2026. While the record shows a trend of passing annual inspections, the recurring presence of advisories concerning suspension arm bushes and anti-roll bar components indicates that the vehicle is currently experiencing age-related fatigue in its chassis bushings. The history also reveals a pattern of specific maintenance requirements, including previous failures related to CV joint boots and tyre condition, suggesting that the vehicle requires consistent monitoring of its rubber components and underpinnings to maintain compliance. Accumulating 114,499 miles over an eleven-year period results in an average annual usage of approximately 10,400 miles, which is consistent with typical driving patterns for a vehicle of this age. This steady usage profile suggests the car has remained in regular operation rather than experiencing prolonged periods of inactivity, which generally helps prevent the issues associated with long-term storage such as seized calipers or fuel system degradation. However, the consistent mileage means that high-wear items, particularly those within the steering and suspension geometry, have been subjected to significant cyclical loading throughout the vehicle's service life. Prospective buyers should prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension system during a test drive, specifically listening for knocking or clunking noises when traversing uneven road surfaces or speed bumps, which would indicate that the wear noted in the most recent advisories on the front wishbone bushes and rear anti-roll bar pins has progressed. It is advisable to check for any vagueness in steering response or uneven tyre wear patterns, as these are common symptoms of degraded suspension bushings. Given the history of CV boot deterioration, a visual check of the inner and outer drive shaft gaiters for splits or grease leakage is essential, as failure to address these can lead to premature joint failure. Beyond the suspension, the previous failure regarding tyre condition highlights the importance of inspecting all four tyres for uneven wear patterns, particularly on the inner or outer edges, which can be an early indicator of alignment issues often associated with worn suspension components. Ensure the vehicle tracks straight on a flat road without pulling to either side under braking or acceleration. As the vehicle continues to age, the components flagged in recent tests should be considered for replacement as part of routine maintenance to ensure the structural and handling integrity of the vehicle remains within expected operational parameters.
