2011 Peugeot 508 2.0L Diesel · MK11 FPE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 153,921 miles resulted in a pass, it followed a failure just one month prior. The recurring issues such as the fractured offside front coil spring and multiple tyre-related failures suggest that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when they result in an MOT failure, rather than performing preventative maintenance during service intervals. At 153,921 miles over 15 years, the Peugeot 508 has averaged approximately 10,200 miles per year, which aligns with national averages for a vehicle of this age. The record shows consistent usage between tests, with roughly 3,800 miles covered between February 2024 and 2025, and another 4,000 miles covered between February 2025 and January 2026. This steady mileage indicates typical wear on consumable components, which is reflected in the frequent advisories regarding tyres and brake hardware. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the suspension geometry and braking system. The history consistently flags uneven tyre wear, particularly on the inner edges of the rear tyres, which points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. Both front and rear brake discs have been noted as pitted and scored across three consecutive years, indicating that the components are nearing the end of their effective life. Furthermore, the loose exhaust Eolys tank noted in early 2026 should be physically verified to ensure it has been properly secured, as this component can be costly to replace if the mounts fail.
