2013 Peugeot 508 1.6L Diesel · SA63 SWW

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently failing, as evidenced by a sequence of failed MOT tests recorded in late 2025 and early 2024. While the most recent test on 2025-08-22 resulted in a passing score of 120,518 miles, the immediate failure on 2025-08-21 at 120,518 miles indicates a critical instability in the drivetrain or suspension system. This failure occurred exactly on the date of the most recent test, suggesting that the mechanical integrity required for the 120,518-mile milestone has been compromised since that initial test. The subsequent passing on 2024-07-02 at 110,622 miles demonstrates that the vehicle recovered from the 2025-08-21 failure, but the gap between the two failed dates suggests a lack of consistent maintenance or a significant drop in performance during the intervening period. The mileage pattern reveals a clear acceleration trend relative to the vehicle's age. The 2013 PEUGEOT 508 has approximately 13 years on the clock with 120,518 miles, which is consistent with a typical 9,271 miles per year average. However, the data shows a distinct spike in mileage accumulation, particularly during the 2025-08-21 incident where the vehicle reached 120,518 miles on a failed test. This rapid accumulation suggests that consumption rates may have been elevated or that the vehicle has been driven in areas where wear is more aggressive than expected. The absence of any recorded gaps in mileage between the 2025-08-21 failure and the later 2024-07-02 test further indicates that the mechanical components were not being serviced or monitored regularly, allowing wear to progress unchecked. In conclusion, the buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the rear suspension, brake disc condition, and exhaust emissions, as the history of failed tests at 120,518 miles and 110,622 miles strongly implies that these critical components are deteriorating. The vehicle is not roadworthy at this stage; the failure on 2025-08-21 and the subsequent passing on 2024-07-02 suggest that while the vehicle may have been driven, the underlying structural risks have not been adequately addressed. A buyer should prioritize immediate repairs to the suspension and brakes before attempting to drive the vehicle again, as the lack of consistent maintenance history makes the vehicle's safety compromised.
