2011 Peugeot 508 1.6L Diesel · SD61 EXN

The vehicle currently holds a valid roadworthiness certificate following a clean pass in September 2025 at 67,935 miles. The maintenance trajectory appears stable, with mechanical issues flagged in earlier years seemingly resolved by the most recent inspection. While the 2022 test recorded a binding rear brake and suspension play, these specific defects did not recur in subsequent examinations, suggesting necessary remedial work was completed. The record indicates a pattern of reactive servicing where components are replaced upon reaching wear limits rather than preventatively, yet the car remains mechanically sound. Usage has been consistently low throughout the vehicle's life. Between the October 2021 test at 49,416 miles and the September 2025 check at 67,935 miles, the car accumulated approximately 18,500 miles over four years. This averages to roughly 4,500 miles annually, confirming the vehicle has experienced light use. The odometer progression is linear and verified, with no significant gaps or suspicious jumps in the recorded mileage. Prospective buyers should closely examine the braking system during a physical inspection. The history shows a recurring trend of brake pad wear, with front pads flagged in 2021 and 2022, and rear pads noted as wearing thin in 2024. Although the 2022 advisory for a nearside rear binding brake and front lower suspension arm ball joint play appears to have been addressed, these areas warrant a check for residual corrosion or uneven wear. The 2021 record of a tyre worn close to the legal limit also suggests previous owners may have delayed replacing consumables, so tyre age and tread depth require verification.
