2023 Peugeot 508 GT S/S Phev Auto 1.6L Hybrid electric · CF23 UOC

A spotless MOT record to date underpins the mechanical story of this 2023 Peugeot 508 GT S/S PHEV – the sole test on 16 May 2026 recorded a clean pass with no failures or advisories, confirming that the chassis, emissions system and primary safety items were all within specification at that point. The absence of any recurring defects suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a level that preserves structural integrity and core component function, a reassuring baseline for a prospective buyer. With 23 659 miles logged over roughly three years, the average annual accumulation sits at about 7 900 miles, which sits squarely within normal UK usage patterns for a relatively new family saloon. No significant mileage spikes or prolonged gaps between tests appear in the record, indicating a steady, moderate level of use rather than periods of intensive short‑term mileage or long idle storage. Mechanically this translates to wear rates that are typical for a vehicle of this age: brake pads and discs will be entering the mid‑life stage, tyre tread should still be healthy but worth confirming, and the hybrid battery and associated cooling circuits will have accrued a modest number of charge cycles. When you inspect the car, pay particular attention to the braking system – listen for any squeal or grinding on initial application, feel for pedal pulsation that could hint at disc warping, and check for uneven pad wear that might signal caliper binding, especially given the regenerative braking contribution in a PHEV. Examine the suspension for any clunk or knock over bumps, which could reveal worn bushings or deteriorating coil‑spring mounts that are not captured by a clean MOT but become apparent under load. Verify that the electric motor operates silently without a whining or grinding tone, and that the charging port latch engages firmly without excess play, as these are early indicators of motor or connector wear. Finally, arrange a comprehensive hybrid‑system health check as part of a pre‑purchase service: confirm that the high‑voltage battery shows no loss of capacity beyond normal ageing, that the coolant level and condition are correct, and that the on‑board diagnostics report no fault codes. A test drive should include a brief electric‑only run to gauge range consistency, followed by a conventional engine run to ensure smooth transition between modes. Keeping to the manufacturer’s service intervals, especially for the coolant flush and brake fluid replacement, will preserve the already clean MOT pedigree and help the vehicle remain road‑worthy for years to come.
