2016 Peugeot 508 2.0L Diesel · YA16 TCV

The most recent MOT (15 Aug 2025 at 112,592 miles) passed with two advisories: slight play in the nearside front anti‑roll bar linkage ball joint (5.3.4 (a) (i)) and the offside rear inner tyre worn close to the legal limit (5.2.3 (e)). The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the advisories point to minor suspension and tyre wear. After a failure in late 2023 for a split CV boot, subsequent tests have been clean, indicating the issue was resolved and the current condition is stable rather than deteriorating. Over the ten‑year life the car has accumulated 112,592 miles, averaging roughly 11,200 miles per year, which is typical for a 2016 model. MOT records show a steady mileage rise: 80,102 miles in Dec 2022, 99,811 miles in Nov 2023, 105,810 miles in Aug 2024 and 112,592 miles in Aug 2025. The increments are consistent, indicating regular use without abrupt spikes. The gap between the 2023 failure and the next test is about ten months, after which the vehicle returned to a clean record. With the anti‑roll bar linkage showing play, the buyer should examine the ball joint and associated suspension mounting for excessive clearance. The rear inner tyre advisory requires a tread‑depth check; the tyre should be inspected for uneven or edge wear that could affect grip. The 2023 CV‑boot failure suggests a prior repair; the driveshaft constant‑velocity boot should be inspected for splits or oil leaks. A visual check of suspension bushes, coil springs and brake‑disc condition is also advisable, as high mileage can affect these components even if not flagged in the MOT. No rust or corrosion advisories appear in the history, but a pre‑purchase inspection should still assess the underbody and wheel arches for any signs of rust, particularly around the rear suspension area. The overall mechanical condition appears stable, and the recorded advisories are minor consumables, implying routine maintenance has been performed. The vehicle is considered roadworthy, but the noted suspension and tyre wear merit a thorough inspection before purchase.
