2023 Peugeot 508 1.2L Petrol · CK23 TBY

The most recent MOT on 18 March 2026 was a pass, but it still flagged two notable defects: the nearside rear tyre has a side‑wall cut (though not deep enough to reach the ply) and the rear brake disc is worn, pitted or scored. These are the same items that caused a failure just eight days earlier, when the MOT also recorded front‑tyre tread below the legal 1.6 mm limit, an off‑side front tyre worn to about 2 mm, excessive exhaust carbon‑monoxide, and an under‑filling washer‑fluid system. The pattern is clear – tyre wear and rear‑brake disc condition are recurring concerns. The front‑tyre tread problem was resolved between the two tests, but the rear tyre cut and brake‑disc wear remain. Because the pass still notes these issues, the overall condition is not improving; it is essentially stable but still needs attention. At roughly 48 300 miles for a three‑year‑old 2023 Peugeot 508, the vehicle averages about 16 000 miles per year, which is higher than typical for a car of this age. This mileage level suggests the drivetrain, suspension, brakes and tyres have been subjected to relatively heavy use, accelerating wear on consumables. While the figure alone does not prove abuse, it does raise the likelihood of earlier component fatigue. For a prospective buyer the priority checks are: Inspect the nearside rear tyre for any signs of worsening damage or loss of structural integrity; consider replacing it if the cut is close to the ply. Examine all four tyres for tread depth, side‑wall condition and even wear; the front tyres were close to the legal limit at the last test, so new tyres may be required soon.
