2017 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · DX67 BLZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from reactive repairs to preventative monitoring. The most recent test in May 2025 at 112,064 miles passed with an advisory for the nearside front brake pads wearing thin. This indicates that while the car meets minimum safety standards, consumable components are reaching the end of their service life and require immediate attention to prevent a failure in future inspections. The recorded mileage of 112,064 miles over nine years reflects an annual average of approximately 12,452 miles. This sits slightly above the national average for a passenger car, suggesting consistent use of the drivetrain and suspension components. Between April 2024 and May 2025, the vehicle covered roughly 12,800 miles, confirming a steady pattern of high mileage. The two failures recorded in April 2024 were limited to a damaged windscreen, which is a non-mechanical issue that was rectified quickly before the subsequent retest. A physical inspection must focus on the braking system, given the recent advisory on the nearside pads. The buyer should check the thickness of the remaining pads and inspect for uneven wear or scoring on the brake discs, which can indicate sticking calipers. Because of the high mileage, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is necessary to identify signs of premature wear or tearing, as these components frequently degrade under heavy annual usage. The chassis should also be examined for corrosion to ensure the high mileage has not compromised the structural integrity of the vehicle.
