2015 Peugeot 508 2.2L Diesel · EN64 EFO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 90,011 miles passed, it revealed a persistent issue with all tyres being worn to the legal limit. This follows a failure in December 2025 where both front drive shaft CV boots were flagged as split, indicating that the owner only addresses mechanical and consumable faults once they trigger an MOT failure. The mileage profile is consistent with typical usage for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per year. There is a significant gap of over 20,000 miles between August 2023 (61,973 miles) and August 2024 (81,445 miles), followed by another 8,500 miles leading into the latest test. This increase in usage in recent years suggests the car is being used more frequently for longer journeys now, compared to its earlier life, which explains the accelerated wear on rubber-based components and tyres. A prospective buyer must inspect the front suspension and drivetrain closely, as the record shows recurring issues with anti-roll bar linkages and drive shaft CV boots. The tester noted deteriorated boots in 2023 and total splits by 2025, which suggests the CV joints may be nearing failure due to grit and moisture ingress. Furthermore, the consistent edge wear reported across all four tyres in the 2026 test indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that will require a professional geometry check to prevent premature replacement of new tyres.
