2019 Peugeot 508 2.0L Diesel · KP69 XRT

The 2019 Peugeot 508 currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 9 June 2026 at 91,929 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend over the past two years is clearly improving. A failure on 6 June 2026 for significantly worn front brake discs on both sides was rectified within three days, and the retest passed cleanly. That swift repair suggests the current owner addressed a serious braking defect promptly rather than deferring it. The 2025 test also shows a pattern of minor rectification work, with a number plate non-conformity and four tyres worn to the legal limit flagged on the initial attempt, then resolved for the pass later the same day. The vehicle has covered 91,929 miles over roughly seven years, averaging approximately 13,133 miles per year. That is high for its age and points to sustained, likely motorway-heavy use. The mileage progression is notable: from 60,971 miles in May 2024 to 77,552 miles in May 2025, a jump of 16,581 miles in twelve months, then a further 14,377 miles to reach 91,929 by June 2026. The accumulation rate has been consistently steep, which accelerates wear on consumable components and places greater stress on suspension bushes, drivetrain mounts, and braking components. The gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests is a full year, but the mileage covered in that period is substantial, reinforcing the high-use profile. Buyers should pay close attention to the front braking system. The June 2026 failure specifically cited significantly and obviously worn inner faces on both front brake discs, indicating the vehicle was driven with degraded braking surfaces for some period before testing. A physical inspection should assess whether the replacement discs and pads are genuine or pattern parts, and whether the front calipers are operating freely without binding. Uneven inner disc wear can sometimes point to caliper slide pin seizure or a sticking piston rather than simple pad neglect. The nearside and offside front tyres were flagged as worn on the edges in May 2025, which may reflect toe misalignment or aggressive driving. A four-wheel alignment check is advisable, along with a thorough inspection of front suspension bushes, track rod ends, and drop links for play. Given the high annual mileage, the exhaust system and DPF should be examined for cracking or soot staining, particularly around the manifold and flexi-joint. Underbody corrosion around suspension mounting points and subframes warrants close scrutiny, as sustained high-mileage use on salted roads accelerates structural deterioration. The clean June 2026 pass is encouraging, but the recent brake disc failure and the rapid mileage accumulation mean a pre-purchase inspection focused on braking, suspension geometry, and structural integrity is strongly recommended.
