2012 Peugeot 508 2.0L Diesel · FP62 OJK

The vehicle presents a generally roadworthy profile with a stable maintenance trend in recent years. The most recent inspection conducted in July 2024 at 136,026 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. While a failure occurred in early August 2023, the immediate rectification and subsequent pass just one day later suggests the owner is proactive in addressing specific mechanical failures when flagged by the tester. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Data shows a period of lower usage between December 2021 and August 2022, where the car covered only 730 miles. However, usage increased significantly since then, with over 17,000 miles recorded between the August 2022 and July 2024 tests. This shift back to more consistent annual use is generally beneficial for the engine and mechanical components, as it prevents the fluid degradation and seal dryness often associated with long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components most likely to wear at this mileage and age. Given the 136,026-mile mark, a close look at the suspension bushes and coil springs is necessary to check for perished rubber or fractures, as these often suffer from fatigue over time. While the recent records do not highlight structural corrosion, the underbody should be inspected for surface rust on the mounting points and exhaust system. The buyer must also verify the brake disc condition for thinning or uneven wear to ensure the clean 2024 MOT result reflects the current state of the braking system.
