2015 Peugeot 308 1.2L Petrol · LN15 AAE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive preventative care. The most recent test in April 2026 at 121,104 miles passed after a significant failure just three miles prior. This failure highlighted critical safety issues, including worn front brake discs and pads, low brake fluid levels, and a compromised anti-roll bar linkage. While the car now passes, the recurring nature of these failures on wear items suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they reach the point of MOT inspection failure. At 121,104 miles over 11 years, the Peugeot has covered an average of approximately 11,000 miles per year, which is consistent with typical national averages. However, the mileage accumulation accelerated significantly between 2024 and 2026, where the vehicle covered nearly 40,000 miles in just two years. This surge in use correlates with the increased frequency of suspension-related failures, such as the fractured offside front coil spring and worn suspension arm bushes noted during the April 2024 test. The mechanical record shows a persistent history of suspension and braking degradation. Between 2022 and 2026, the tester repeatedly flagged issues with suspension arm bushes, track rod ends, and anti-roll bars. The offside front coil spring failure in 2024 is a specific indicator of high stress on the front end components, common in high-mileage vehicles. A buyer should closely inspect the entire suspension geometry for remaining play and verify that the braking system has been properly serviced, as the record shows a long history of worn discs and thin pads across multiple years.
