2012 Peugeot 508 2.0L Diesel · YA12 FWB

The most recent MOT on 2025‑05‑10 at 121,830 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming the vehicle remains roadworthy. The preceding three tests—2024‑05‑14 at 115,087 miles, 2023‑05‑24 at 109,044 miles and 2022‑06‑01 at 103,925 miles—also returned passes without advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend rather than any progressive deterioration. The absence of recurring faults suggests the car has been serviced regularly enough to keep major systems within tolerance. Mileage accumulation shows a steady but modest increase: roughly 4,743 miles between June 2022 and May 2023, followed by 6,043 miles to May 2024 and 6,743 miles to May 2025. This pattern totals about 6,500–7,000 miles per year, which is lower than the typical 8,700‑mile annual average for a 14‑year‑old vehicle. The reduced usage may have limited wear on consumables and helped preserve drivetrain and suspension components, though the overall mileage still approaches 122k, a level that warrants closer inspection of wear items. A prospective buyer should examine tyre tread depth and uneven wear, brake disc condition and caliper operation, and the condition of suspension bushes and shock absorbers for any excessive play or corrosion. Given the vehicle’s age, a visual check for rust on the underbody, chassis rails and exhaust mounting points is advisable, as well as confirming that the exhaust system shows no active corrosion. Finally, review the service history for regular oil and filter changes to ensure the engine and transmission have been maintained according to the manufacturer’s schedule.
