2013 Peugeot 508 2.0L Diesel · LT63 DLF

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 113,972 miles resulted in a pass, it highlighted multiple issues regarding tyre condition and perishing. The overall trend in mechanical upkeep is unstable, as the vehicle consistently fails on minor electrical items and wear components, suggesting that faults are only addressed once they reach a failure point during the annual inspection. At 113,972 miles over 13 years, the Peugeot has averaged approximately 8,767 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a car of this age. The data shows consistent usage, with roughly 7,500 miles covered between December 2023 and December 2024, and another 4,000 miles recorded between December 2024 and November 2025. This steady accumulation indicates the car is used regularly, which prevents component seizing but accelerates the degradation of rubber components. A buyer must pay close attention to the suspension and braking systems due to recurring faults. The tester flagged a worn nearside front anti-roll bar ball joint in December 2023 and a corroded nearside rear coil spring in late 2024. Furthermore, the history shows a leaking offside rear hydraulic caliper and a binding nearside front brake, indicating the braking system is prone to neglect. A physical inspection should check for further fluid leaks and ensure the rear suspension components have been properly replaced to prevent structural failure. Tyre maintenance is another clear weakness for this vehicle. Three out of the last four tests identified tyres worn to the legal limit or showing uneven wear. The November 2025 report specifically noted cracking and perishing on the nearside tyres, which suggests the owner has neglected replacing rubber components despite visible age-. Any prospective buyer should verify the tread depth and age of all four tyres to ensure immediate expenditure is not required.
