1991 PEUGEOT 3091.9L DIESEL

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 September 2025 at 145,314 miles resulted in a pass following a minor failure for a non-functional nearside stop lamp. This simple electrical fault rectified rectified does not indicate mechanical or structural neglect. The absence of recorded advisories across the last four annual tests suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard or kept in a very dry environment. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 35-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,152 miles per year. Between October 2022 and September 2023, the car covered only 147 miles, moving from 145,167 to 145,314 miles. This indicates the vehicle is used sparingly or has sat stationary for long periods. While low mileage reduces wear on drivetrain and engine components, it often leads to age-related degradation such as perished rubber seals, dried hoses, and brake caliper corrosion from lack of use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, as older Peugeot 309s are prone to corrosion in the sills and rear wheel arches. Given the low mileage, inspect the suspension bushes for cracking and ensure the tyres are not flat-otted or perished due to age. Check the brake system for seized pistons or internal fluid contamination, as low-use vehicles frequently suffer from binding calipers that are not used regularly.
