2013 Peugeot 508 SR HDI 1.6L Heavy oil · UJZ 5751

The most recent MOT, carried out on 25 February 2026, was passed with no recorded defects, and the preceding three annual tests (2025‑03‑11, 2024‑02‑10 and 2023‑01‑14) were likewise clean. This uninterrupted series of successful inspections indicates a stable maintenance pattern; there are no emerging fault trends or recurring advisories that would suggest deteriorating component condition. At 134 216 miles the 2013 Peugeot 508 SR HDi has logged roughly 10 300 miles per year over its 13‑year life, which sits squarely within the typical usage envelope for a family saloon of this age. The mileage does not point to either unusually low use, which might mask age‑related degradation, nor to excessive annual accumulation that would accelerate wear on the drivetrain, suspension or braking system. There are no obvious gaps in the recorded mileage that would imply prolonged periods of inactivity, so the wear profile is likely to be consistent with the vehicle’s calendar age. Given the clean MOT record and average mileage, a prospective buyer should focus on age‑related inspections. Examine the tyre sidewalls for cracking, dry rot or bulging, and verify that tread depth remains above the legal minimum; tyres older than six years can deteriorate even if tread appears adequate. Check the 12‑volt battery for corrosion on terminals and assess its charge hold, as batteries over ten years often lose capacity. Inspect the brake discs and pads for surface rust, glazing or uneven wear, and ensure the calipers move freely without binding. Under the bonnet, look for any signs of fluid discoloration or sediment in the engine oil, coolant and brake fluid, and consider a full service if the last calendar change exceeds 12 months, as fluids degrade with time irrespective of mileage. On a test drive, listen for any clunking or squeaking from the front and rear suspension bushes, which can become perished after a decade of service, and feel for any pull or vibration that might indicate worn tie‑rod ends or misaligned wheels. Observe the steering response for looseness, and watch the brake pedal for sponginess or pulsation, which could hint at warped discs or air in the hydraulic system. Finally, inspect the under‑carriage for corrosion on the chassis rails, exhaust hangers and suspension mounts, especially if the vehicle has spent long periods stationary, and verify that the service book contains regular oil changes and timing‑belt or chain maintenance as prescribed by Peugeot for the HDi engine.
