2015 Peugeot 308 1.2L Petrol · LN15 AAU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 31 January 2026 at 62,862 miles. The overall maintenance trend is stable, though the history reveals a pattern of neglecting minor defects until they are flagged during annual testing. The most recent pass followed a failure on the same day due to a non-functional offside front dipped beam, suggesting a lack of pre-test checks by the owner. The mileage is low for an eleven year old car, averaging roughly 5,715 miles per year. The accumulation has been consistent, moving from 32,641 miles in March 2018 to 62,862 miles in January 2026. This low usage often leads to the perishing of rubber components, which is evident in the records. The tester flagged cracking or perishing tyres in January 2020, January 2021, and January 2024, indicating that tyres are being left on the vehicle beyond their usable lifespan. A buyer should prioritize a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension. The record shows chronic issues with brake binding and disc wear, specifically noted in March 2018, January 2020, and January 2022. While the January 2026 test was clean, the August 2025 test at 60,206 miles flagged worn and pitted rear brake discs and a worn offside front suspension bush. These recurring issues suggest a reactive rather than preventative approach to mechanical upkeep. The engine bay requires a close look for oil leaks. The tester recorded an oil leak in January 2021 and again in January 2022. While these were described as not excessive, the persistence of the leak over two years warrants a check for current seepage or residue. The minor exhaust leak noted in July 2024 should also be verified to ensure it was permanently repaired rather than simply ignored.
