2019 Peugeot 508 1.5L Diesel · LS69 ERY

The most recent MOT inspection on 15 October 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. When reviewing the vehicle history, the maintenance trend appears to be improving. While earlier tests in 2022 and 2023 highlighted a failure regarding the anti-lock braking system and several advisories concerning tyres and suspension bushings, the three most recent certificates have been entirely clean. This suggests that the previous owner has proactively addressed the emerging wear and tear, resulting in a currently stable mechanical state. The recorded mileage of 40,765 miles is notably low for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 5,824 miles per year. While this represents reduced wear on the engine, gearbox, and internal drivetrain components, such low annual usage can introduce specific risks associated with vehicle dormancy. Low-mileage cars are often prone to the degradation of rubber components and the accumulation of moisture or corrosion in areas that would otherwise be kept clean and lubricated by regular, high-speed road use. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the history of suspension and tyre advisories. Although the recent tests are clean, the previous reports of worn suspension arm bushes on the rear axle and uneven tyre wear on the front suggest a potential for alignment issues or premature bushing failure. During a test drive, listen for any knocking or clunking sounds when traversing uneven surfaces and inspect the current tyre treads for irregular wear patterns, which could indicate that the underlying suspension issues were patched rather than fully resolved. Given the low usage profile, a physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation rather than mileage-related wear. Examine the tyre sidewalls for fine cracking or perishing, as rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth. Check the brake discs for heavy surface corrosion or evidence of binding calipers, which often occurs when a vehicle stands for extended periods. Finally, verify the service record to ensure that oil and filter changes have been performed on a calendar basis rather than solely by mileage, and test the 12V battery health to ensure it has not been compromised by infrequent use.
