2015 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · RJ15 AEP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test on 31 December 2022 at 119,944 miles passed despite several advisories that indicate active wear and tear. Specifically, the tester flagged a nearside rear tyre worn to the legal limit and discoloured brake discs/pads suggesting overheating. These issues suggest that while the car is legally on the road, components are reaching the end of their functional life simultaneously. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. The record shows a steady increase of 17,700 miles between May 2019 and November 2020, followed by another 16,000 miles between November 2020 and December 2022. However, there is a significant gap of over three years since the last recorded MOT. Given the current date of July 2026, the vehicle is overdue and the historical data provides no information on the mechanical work performed since the 2022 inspection. A buyer must prioritise inspecting the braking system and suspension components. The history reveals recurring issues with brakes, including thin pads in 2020 and lipped discs in 2019, culminating in signs of heat discoloration in 2022. The edge wear on the nearside rear tyre from 2022 also points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that require verification. Additionally, the damaged plastic under tray noted in 2022 should be checked to ensure it has not exposed vulnerable underbody to road debris or moisture over the subsequent three years.
