2020 Peugeot 508 1.5L Diesel · MM70 SLV

The most recent MOT (4 Dec 2025) was passed, but it flagged both front tyres as worn close to the legal limit, with the tread worn on the edge. The previous year’s MOT (20 Dec 2024) also highlighted front‑tyre damage and added a severe deterioration of the off‑side front outer drive‑shaft CV joint boot. In 2023 the MOT was clean. The pattern is clear: front tyre wear is a recurring issue, now reaching the legal minimum on both sides. The CV‑joint boot problem appeared in 2024 but was not listed in 2025, suggesting it may have been repaired. Overall the defect trend is not improving – tyre wear is persisting and edging closer to failure, while other components have remained largely stable. At roughly 14,700 mi per year, the 2020 Peugeot 508 is higher‑mileage than average for its age. This level of use typically accelerates wear on consumables such as tyres, brakes, suspension bushings and drivetrain joints. It does not, however, prove whether the car has been driven hard or simply accumulated miles over long periods; the mileage signal alone is ambiguous. For a buyer, the first things to check in person are: The condition of all four tyres – look for uneven wear, sidewall damage and tread depth; replace if any tyre is at or below the legal limit.
