2013 Peugeot 508 2.0L Diesel · LB62 JOU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in January 2026 at 64,066 miles passed despite multiple advisories regarding front tyres, including wear to the legal limit and sidewall cracking. This follows a pattern seen in 2024 and 2025 where tyre-related issues were recurring, suggesting the previous owner only addresses these components once they reach a failure point or advisory threshold. At 13 years old, the recorded 64,066 miles represent a low annual average of approximately 4,900 miles per year. This low mileage suggests the car has spent long periods stationary, which explains the physical degradation of rubber-based components like the perishing tyres noted in the December 2024 and January 2026 tests. The gap between the December 2023 and December 2024 tests shows only 2,090 miles, indicating very low usage during that period, which often leads to age-related wear rather than mechanical failure. A buyer must inspect the front suspension closely, as the repeated reports of tyres wearing on the edges indicate potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. The 2025 advisory regarding pitted and scored rear brake discs is a common symptom of low-use vehicles sitting, allowing surface corrosion to develop. Additionally, the recurring failure of the driver's seat adjustment mechanism in both 2023 and 2024 indicates a mechanical fault in the interior trim that should be verified to ensure it is now fully functional before purchase.
