2021 Peugeot 508 1.2L Petrol · GD21 FVJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 63,466 miles passed without defects, it followed a period of mechanical neglect in the previous year. The trend shows stability following the significant repairs made in late 2024, yet the history of failures suggests the previous owner only addressed mechanical issues once they reached the point of legal test failure. At 63,466 miles over five years, this Peugeot has averaged approximately 12,700 miles annually. This exceeds the national average for a passenger car and places accelerated wear on consumable components and suspension assemblies. The data shows a significant burst of 3,533 miles covered between April 2024 and November 2024, followed by consistent high-mile usage. This mileage profile explains why components like brake discs and CV boots have required attention more frequently than on a lower-mileage example. A prospective buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The November 2024 failure highlighted a seriously weakened rear brake disc and a bald nearside front tyre, while the April 2024 test flagged a deteriorated offside front drive shaft boot. The November 2025 advisory noted that all four tyre edges were wearing, which is a classic indicator of an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that remains unaddressed. Check the CV boots again for grease leaks and inspect the brake disc surfaces for uneven wear or pitting to ensure the previous repairs were thorough.
