2017 Peugeot 508 1.6L Diesel · SL66 XGP

The most recent MOT on 2026-03-16 shows the vehicle failed due to multiple issues, including nearside front road wheel fixing looseness, which is a safety risk, and tyres worn close to legal limits. A separate passed MOT on the same date noted similar tyre wear and a non-excessive oil leak. This inconsistency suggests potential errors in the MOT records or conflicting assessments, but the failed test highlights critical concerns. Recurring mechanical patterns include tyre wear near legal limits (noted in 2026 and 2025 MOTs), brake disc wear (2025 failed MOT), and a loose wheel fixing (2026 failed MOT). While some issues like brake discs were addressed by 2025, the 2026 failure indicates unresolved or recurring problems, particularly with tyres and wheel alignment. The trend shows a mix of stability and new risks, with no clear improvement in critical areas. The vehicle’s mileage of 82,379 miles over 9 years is average for its age, suggesting moderate use rather than heavy wear or prolonged inactivity. However, the presence of multiple tyre and brake-related issues may indicate neglect or accelerated wear, though this cannot be confirmed without further inspection. A buyer should prioritize checking the tyres for uneven wear, brake discs for thickness and damage, and wheel fixings for tightness. The oil leak, though minor, should be monitored for worsening.
