2021 Peugeot 508 1.2L Petrol · GD21 HGJ

The 2026-04-28 MOT failure highlights multiple brake disc wear issues, with all four discs recorded as "worn but not excessively." This suggests ongoing brake system stress, potentially linked to higher-than-average mileage (12,555 miles per year). The 2025-05-13 MOT included a gearbox fault light and failed tyre tread, while 2024-05-11 entries showed brake pad failures below 1.5mm. These patterns indicate recurring brake component degradation, likely accelerated by frequent use. The trend shows a shift from critical brake pad failures (2024) to less severe disc wear (2026), but the persistence of brake-related issues over three years suggests a systemic problem. Electrical faults, such as non-functional rear fog lamps and position lamps, also recur, pointing to potential wiring or connection issues. The 2026 MOT’s "nail in tyre" adds a minor but immediate safety concern. Mileage of 62,776 miles for a 5-year-old vehicle is high, implying heavier use or aggressive driving, which could accelerate wear on brakes, suspension, and tyres. However, the absence of major defects in the 2024-05-11 "passed" MOT suggests some periods of stable condition. The recent failure, though, indicates a worsening trend in brake and electrical systems. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the brake system, including pads, discs, and hydraulic components, for excessive wear or leaks.
