2021 Peugeot 508 1.2L Petrol · GD21 FVW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward reactive component replacement. The most recent test in February 2026 at 41,125 miles identified a severe deterioration of the nearside front outer drive shaft joint constant velocity boot. While the vehicle passed following this report, the failure indicates that a rubber component reached the end of its life without being addressed by the previous owner prior to the inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical low-use private ownership, averaging approximately 8,225 miles per year. Between the May 2024 test at 29,714 miles and the February 2025 test at 34,686 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 5,000 miles in nine months. This suggests regular usage which is generally beneficial for maintaining seals and brake components, though the long intervals between tests allow for degradation of rubber-based parts despite the low mileage. A buyer should perform a thorough physical inspection of the nearside front CV boot to ensure no grease leakage has occurred, which would lead to premature drive shaft failure if left untreated. The failure in February 2025 for headlamp aim being too low was a minor adjustment issue that was rectified, but the buyer should verify the beam alignment remains correct. Given the age of the car, checking the suspension bushings for signs of cracking or tearing common on these Peugeot models is also prudent, as the record has not yet flagged any structural or mechanical wear issues.
