2022 Peugeot 508 GT Bluehdi S/S Auto 1.5L Diesel · NG22 AEE

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 14 March 2026, following a failure six days prior. While the overall maintenance trend appears stable given the clean pass in July 2025, the recent failure suggests a lapse in pre-test preparation. The defects identified were primarily consumable items and an electronic fault, indicating that while the car is currently roadworthy, the previous keeper may have adopted a reactive approach to maintenance rather than a preventative one. With a recorded mileage of 42,544 miles over approximately four years, the vehicle has averaged around 10,600 miles per annum. This is considered typical usage for a vehicle of this class and age, suggesting a balanced duty cycle that likely includes a mix of urban and motorway driving. Mechanically, this mileage implies that the primary drivetrain components and suspension bushes should still be in good condition, although the vehicle is approaching the stage where initial wear on braking consumables and tyre treads becomes evident. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the engine management light failure recorded in March 2026. It is essential to verify the nature of the malfunction and ensure that a permanent repair was carried out rather than a simple fault code reset. Given the BlueHDi engine's reliance on complex emissions systems, you should specifically inquire about the health of the AdBlue system and the diesel particulate filter. During a test drive, listen for any irregular idling or hesitation under acceleration, and ensure the dashboard is entirely clear of warning lamps. Beyond the electronic history, a physical inspection should focus on the automatic transmission for smooth gear transitions and the absence of shuddering during low-speed manoeuvres. Examine the tyre sidewalls for any signs of perishing or uneven wear, which could indicate an alignment issue or suspension wear. Finally, verify the service history to confirm that oil changes and filter replacements have been performed according to the manufacturer's calendar-based intervals, as fluid degradation can occur regardless of the annual mileage.
