2017 Peugeot 308 Access SW Blue HDI S/S 1.6L Heavy oil · CX67 AVM

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 24 February 2026 with no defects recorded. Looking at the broader history, the maintenance trend appears stable and has improved significantly since 2021. While there were previous failures and advisories related to braking, lighting, and a minor oil leak, the subsequent three tests have been entirely clean, indicating that the owner has been proactive in addressing faults and maintaining the vehicle to a roadworthy standard. With a recorded mileage of 139,047 miles over approximately nine years, this vehicle has averaged roughly 15,450 miles per annum. This is considerably higher than the UK average and suggests a life of heavy usage, likely involving frequent long-distance commuting. Such high mileage accelerates the wear and tear on critical drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and engine internals, meaning the vehicle is entering a phase where major component fatigue is more probable than on a lower-mileage equivalent. Given the high mileage, a physical inspection should focus heavily on the chassis and suspension. You should examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perishing or corrosion, as these often degrade under high-mileage stress. During a test drive, listen for clunks or knocks over uneven surfaces and feel for any instability at motorway speeds. It is also imperative to verify the service history regarding the timing belt and water pump; if these have not been replaced recently, they represent a critical and imminent maintenance requirement to prevent catastrophic engine failure. Although the recent MOTs are clean, the 2021 record noted an oil leak and wearing rear brake pads. You should inspect the engine bay and underbody for any fresh oil residue or weeping from gaskets and seals. Check the condition of the brake discs for deep scoring or a prominent lip, and ensure there is no brake shudder under deceleration. Finally, verify that all fluids, including the coolant and brake fluid, are clear and not degraded, as calendar-based degradation can occur even if the vehicle is regularly driven.
