2014 Peugeot 508 2.0L Diesel · VE63 XAC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT in November 2025 at 152,912 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of recent improvement following a period of neglect in late 2023. While the car previously suffered from multiple-related failures, the most recent clean certificate indicates that the current owner has addressed outstanding mechanical issues and is maintaining a standard of compliance. At 152,912 miles over 12 years, this Peugeot 508 has clocked an average of approximately 12,700 miles per year. This suggests consistent motorway-style use rather than short-distance commuting. Between the October 2024 and November 2025 tests, the vehicle covered a significant distance of 21,062 miles in just thirteen months. This high annual mileage places accelerated stress on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system, which aligns with the frequent tyre issues noted in the history. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the tyres, as the record shows a recurring pattern of poor condition and damage. The November 2023 failure revealed three tyres with structural cuts reaching the cords, while the 2024 test flagged an offside front tyre worn to the limit. This suggests a previous history of ignoring basic consumable wear or alignment issues. Additionally, the 2023 failure regarding an inoperative Malfunction Indicator Lamp requires a modern diagnostic scan to ensure no hidden sensor faults or engine-related issues remain that were merely cleared rather than permanently repaired. Given the high mileage, the physical inspection should also target the suspension geometry for worn bushes and shock absorbers, which frequently degrade on this model at this interval. No structural corrosion or binding calipers were noted in the records, but the rapid mileage means brake discs and pads may be nearing the end of their functional life. The clean result from the 2025 test is a positive sign, but the history of tyre-related failures remains a point of concern for the vehicle's overall care standard.
