2014 Peugeot 508 2.2L Diesel · N28 SAT

This Peugeot 508 demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend over the past two years, with the most recent MOT test on 29 December 2025 confirming no defects at 125,128 miles. The single failure in late 2025—recorded just five days before passing—was notably absent of any specific faults, suggesting either a minor administrative oversight or a temporary issue unrelated to structural or mechanical integrity. The consistency of passing tests without advisories implies that major components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers have not been flagged for excessive wear or failure. However, the failure itself, despite no recorded defects, raises a question about whether the vehicle was driven unsafely or subjected to unusual conditions between tests. The mileage progression of approximately 10,400 miles annually aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. The gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests—covering 15,169 miles—follows a steady pattern, and there are no red flags in the absence of advisories or repeated failures. While this suggests regular driving habits, the lack of any recorded advisories in prior tests means potential issues like minor corrosion or worn suspension components could have gone unnoticed without a thorough inspection. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person examination of high-wear areas that often evade MOT scrutiny. Focus on the suspension system, particularly the condition of the rear bushes and coil springs, as these are common points of failure in vehicles of this age and mileage. The brakes, including rear binding calipers and front disc thickness, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, especially if the vehicle has seen wet or salted roads. Structural integrity is another critical area—inspect the wheel arches, sills, and subframe for signs of rust penetration, as this can compromise chassis strength over time. Finally, verify the exhaust system for leaks or excessive corrosion, as this is frequently overlooked but can lead to emissions failures or structural weakening.
