2023 Peugeot 508 1.2L Petrol · YB23 KLE

The most recent MOT, conducted on 2026-05-22 at 45,674 miles, confirmed the vehicle passed but highlighted multiple brake-related defects. All eight brake pads (front and rear, nearside and offside) were recorded as “wearing thin,” and all four brake discs showed “worn, pitted or scored” surfaces. These issues are categorized as non-urgent but require monitoring, as continued use could lead to reduced braking performance or component failure. The pattern of defects indicates widespread brake wear across all four wheels. This suggests either heavy usage, aggressive driving, or insufficient maintenance. While the MOT does not specify prior history, the simultaneous presence of these issues implies a systemic trend rather than isolated incidents. However, without earlier MOT records, it is unclear whether this wear is new or has developed over time. The vehicle’s mileage of 45,674 miles in three years equates to roughly 15,225 miles annually, which is high for its age. This could reflect frequent use, potentially accelerating wear on consumables like brake pads and discs. However, high mileage alone does not definitively indicate poor condition—some vehicles age well with regular maintenance.
