2012 Peugeot 508 2.0L Diesel · GV12 OOH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a consistent pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent MOT test in December 2025 at 103,022 miles resulted in a failure due to multiple tyre-related defects and a damaged jacking point. While these issues were rectified to secure a pass, the recurring nature of worn tyres and minor lighting faults across several years suggests the owner only addresses consumable components when they fail an annual test rather than following a scheduled preventative replacement cycle. At 103,022 miles, this 14-year-old Peugeot has covered a consistent average distance of approximately 7,300 miles per year. The usage pattern is remarkably stable, with tests occurring almost annually since 2015. There is a notable gap in records between June 2019 and December 2020, where the vehicle covered only 6,739 miles. This low annual mileage is generally beneficial for the drivetrain, though it does not negate the age-related degradation of rubber suspension components which appear to be showing signs of wear. A buyer must inspect the structural integrity specifically, specifically the offside front jacking point flagged in 2025, as damage in this area can indicate significant corrosion or past impact. The suspension history also shows a persistent trend of anti-roll bar linkage ball joint play, which was noted in both 2022 and 2023. These components should be checked for excessive movement to ensure handling stability. Additionally, the braking system history shows frequent mentions of thin pads and worn discs, meaning a physical inspection of the current friction material thickness is essential as the vehicle demonstrates a tendency to run brakes until they reach the legal limit.
