2012 Peugeot 508 2.0L Diesel · YB12 CFX

The 2012 Peugeot 508 presents a stable and recently improving maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 February 2026 at 132,395 miles returned a clean pass with zero defects, a marked turnaround from the failure just two weeks prior on 28 January 2026 at 132,393 miles. That failure flagged a cluster of minor electrical and wiper defects alongside a perished nearside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover and a split rear wiper blade. The subsequent clean pass confirms these were rectified promptly, suggesting attentive short-term upkeep by the current keeper. The mileage profile is consistent and unremarkable for a fourteen-year-old vehicle. Recorded at 132,395 miles in February 2026, the annualised average sits at roughly 9,457 miles per year, which is typical for a family saloon of this age. The progression from 111,669 miles in January 2023 to 132,395 miles by early 2026 shows steady accumulation of approximately 7,000 miles per year over that three-year window, with no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes that would indicate long-term standing or odometer anomalies. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on the front suspension and steering components. The 2025 test at 125,944 miles flagged slight play in the nearside rear anti-roll bar linkage ball joint and a slightly noisy offside rear wheel bearing, while the 2026 failure identified a deteriorated nearside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover. These recurring suspension advisories point to wear across the anti-roll bar linkage and wheel bearing assemblies that warrants a thorough check for play, roughness, and deteriorated rubber boots on all four corners. The front tyre wear pattern is also a recurring theme. Advisories for edge wear and cracking appeared in both the 2024 and 2025 tests on the nearside and offside front tyres, suggesting possible tracking misalignment or worn front suspension bushes that have not been permanently resolved. A four-wheel alignment check and close inspection of the inner sidewalls and tread edges are advisable. The rear tyres were noted wearing on their inner edges in the 2023 test, reinforcing the need to verify alignment and suspension bush condition across the full axle set.
