2015 Peugeot 508 1.6L Diesel · VN65 LCA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in preventative care. While the car passed its most recent MOT in November 2025 at 139,764 miles, this followed a failure just five days prior that revealed multiple mechanical defects. The transition from a clean record in 2024 to a series of failures in 2025 suggests that components are only being addressed once they fail rather than through routine scheduled maintenance. At 139,764 miles over eleven years, this Peugeot has covered a higher than average distance, averaging approximately 12,700 miles annually. The data shows a significant surge in usage between July 2023 (101,777 miles) and November 2025 (139,764 miles), where the vehicle covered nearly 38,000 miles in just two years. This high mileage puts accelerated strain on the drivetrain and suspension, which is reflected in the state of the hardware components noted during the latest testing cycle. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the steering and front suspension assembly. The November 2025 test flagged play in the offside front steering rack inner joints and a fractured nearside front coil spring. These are high-wear items on high-mileage vehicles that affect handling precision if not properly replaced. Furthermore, the record shows that both front and rear brake discs are pitted and scored. With the rear pads previously found below the 1.5mm legal limit, the entire braking system is nearing the end of its service life and requires a comprehensive overhaul to ensure safe stopping performance.
