2014 Peugeot 508 2.0L Diesel · X888 ABP

The vehicle presents a worsening maintenance trend regarding consumable components and fluid integrity. While the most recent test on 10 December 2025 at 115,976 miles resulted in a pass, the record shows a recurring pattern of neglected maintenance. Specifically, the tester flagged an oil leak, which first appeared in the 06 January 2025 test at 110,983 miles and persisted into the latest inspection. The continued presence of an oil leak, even if classified as not excessive, suggests a slow degradation of engine seals or gaskets that requires monitoring. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,665 miles per year. The data shows steady progression, with the vehicle covering roughly 10,000 miles between most annual inspections. This predictable usage pattern suggests the car has been driven regularly rather than sitting idle for long periods. However, the recent increase in advisory items indicates that while the mileage is standard, the mechanical upkeep has become less diligent in the last two years. A prospective buyer should focus on the front axle and tyre wear patterns. The MOT history shows a significant issue with front tyre wear, with both nearside and offside front tyres flagged as worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges in both the January 2025 and December 2025 tests. This recurring advisory often points to underlying suspension or wheel alignment issues rather than simple tyre age. This is supported by the failure recorded on 07 December 2023 at 104,166 miles, where a fractured nearside front coil spring caused the vehicle to fail. Further investigation into the engine bay is necessary to identify the source of the persistent oil leak noted in the 2025 records. Although the brake discs were flagged as pitted or scored in December 2019 at 70,550 miles, no recent issues with the braking system have been recorded. The primary mechanical concerns remain the potential for suspension geometry issues and the management of the ongoing oil leak.
