2017 Peugeot 508 1.6L Diesel · MM66 PCF

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a persistent trend of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in November 2025 at 156,949 miles flagged a recurring oil leak, a severely deteriorated offside front CV boot, and an inoperative nearside rear lamp. While the car passed, the recurrence of these mechanical issues across multiple years suggests that components are only being addressed once they reach a point of failure or legal threshold. At 156,949 miles, this Peugeot 508 has covered an average of over 17,000 miles per year. The mileage data shows consistent heavy usage, with a 10,521-mile increase between the November 2024 and November 2025 tests. This high annual mileage places significant strain on the drivetrain and suspension components. The steady interval between annual MOT tests suggests the vehicle is used regularly, but the high mileage accelerates the natural wear tear of high-wear items like braking systems and rubber seals. A buyer must inspect the engine bay for the persistent oil leak which has been noted in the 2022, 2023, and 2025 records; while described as not excessive, such leaks can indicate worsening gasket or seal failure over time. The offside front CV boot was flagged as severely deteriorated in 2022 and again in 2025, indicating a previous repair was either not performed or the part failed prematurely, which risks a catastrophic drive joint failure. The brake history also shows a pattern of neglected consumables, with thin pads recorded on both the front in 2022 and the rear in 2023. Physical inspection should also focus on the current state of all four tyres, as the 2023 and 2024 tests show multiple instances of reaching legal limits or uneven wear. Given the high mileage and history of rubber issues, the buyer should check for play in the suspension bushes and the integrity of the exhaust system. The vehicle represents a high-mileage example that requires a thorough mechanical check to ensure that the recurring faults have not masked deeper structural or engine degradation.
