2014 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · SK04 ABY

The current roadworthiness status of this Peugeot 308 appears stable, with the most recent MOT test conducted on 14 November 2025 at 76,945 miles resulting in a clean pass. This absence of recorded defects suggests that the previous owner addressed the significant list of advisories flagged in the preceding year. The maintenance trajectory shows a pattern of resolving consumable issues rather than ignoring them, which indicates a proactive approach to vehicle upkeep despite the high volume of tyre and brake-related warnings identified in late 2024. The vehicle has covered 76,945 miles over its twelve-year lifespan, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per annum. The record shows a notable period of low usage between 2017 and 2020, where the annual mileage dropped significantly, followed by a period of more consistent accumulation. The jump from 43,175 miles in July 2020 to 64,304 miles by July 2021 represents the highest annual usage in the vehicle's history. Since then, the mileage accumulation has returned to a more moderate pace, consistent with the car’s age and typical usage patterns for this class of vehicle. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and wheel condition, as these are the primary recurring themes in the MOT history. The 2024 test highlighted pitted and scored front brake discs, and while these passed, they remain a component prone to wear that warrants a visual check for thinning or heavy corrosion. The history of tyre degradation, specifically cracking and perishing noted in 2024, suggests the vehicle may have spent significant time exposed to the elements or sitting stationary. Inspect the sidewalls of all four tyres for signs of dry rot and verify the current tread depth across the full width of the tyres to ensure they are not wearing unevenly due to potential suspension geometry issues. The mention of a corroded brake hose ferrule in 2024 also serves as a reminder to inspect the flexible brake lines for signs of surface oxidation or cracking, as these components often deteriorate on vehicles of this age.
