2011 Peugeot 508 2.0L Diesel · LT61 VRM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach. While the most recent test in April 2025 at 125,043 miles passed, the tester still flagged thin front brake pads and an offside rear tyre nearing the legal limit. This follows a pattern of recurring failures where components are only addressed once they reach a point of failure, suggesting the owner has deferred preventative maintenance. At 125,043 miles over 15 years, the car has averaged approximately 8,300 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent mileage between tests, with roughly 11,400 miles covered between April 2024 and April 2025, and approximately 3,100 miles between April 2023 and April 2024. This steady usage indicates regular wear on rubber and metal components rather than degradation associated with long periods of sitting. A buyer must scrutinise the suspension and wheel assemblies, as the offside front wheel bearing failed with excessive play during the test at 113,661 miles. The recurring history of worn tyres with uneven edges across multiple years suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that have gone unaddressed. Furthermore, the braking system shows a clear trend of pitted and scored discs in 2024 and thin pads in 2025, necessitating a thorough inspection of the calipers and brake lines to ensure no binding or excessive corrosion is present.
