2022 Peugeot 308 Allure Premium P-Tech SS A 1.2L Petrol · A17 NAP

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT test on 20 May 2026 with no defects or advisories recorded, which presents a clean current roadworthiness position. Reviewing the broader test history, the maintenance trend is generally stable, though the 2025 record is worth careful consideration. The 30 May 2025 test resulted in a failure on two Major defects, both relating to tyre cuts exposing the ply or cords on a 225/45x17 fitment, alongside an advisory that both front tyres were worn close to the legal limit or worn on edge. A subsequent pass just four days later on 3 June 2025 suggests the tyres were replaced promptly, and the advisory concerning offside front brake disc wear indicates that although the disc was scored and pitted, it was not deemed seriously weakened at that point. The central lower windscreen damage has been noted as a Minor defect on both 2025 entries, meaning it remains within the tolerance permitted for the driver's view and is not a failure item, though it should be checked periodically for spreading. Annual mileage stands at approximately 9,867 miles per year over the vehicle's four-year life, which is broadly typical for a car of this age and segment. There are no large gaps in the recorded mileage that would suggest prolonged periods of standing, and equally there is no evidence of unusually rapid accumulation that would point to excessive motorway or fleet-style use. This average rate of use means wear on consumable items such as tyres, brake pads, and clutch components should be moderate, while the powertrain and suspension should not yet be displaying significant fatigue. The relatively modest mileage does, however, mean that short journeys and urban use could still apply, which can accelerate certain wear patterns such as brake disc corrosion from light pedal application. For prospective buyers, the principal areas to inspect closely on a physical walkaround and test drive are the tyres, brake discs, and front suspension geometry. The 2025 advisories noted both front tyres worn close to the legal limit or on the edge, and the offside front brake disc scored on its inner face; a current inspection should verify that the replacements are appropriate to manufacturer specification and that the inner faces of the front discs show no excessive lip or further scoring. When driving, any steering pull, uneven tyre wear across the tread face, vibration through the steering wheel, or a brake shudder under light to moderate pedal pressure would suggest further investigation is warranted. The windscreen chip should be monitored for any growth or secondary cracking, particularly after thermal changes. Beyond the recorded MOT observations, age-related items merit attention on a car that is now four years old. Tyre sidewalls should be checked for perishing or cracking from age-related rubber degradation, even if tread depth remains adequate, and the 12V battery condition is worth confirming given that Peugeot stop-start systems can place higher demands on battery health. Brake calipers on a relatively low-mileage vehicle can suffer from binding or corrosion of the slide mechanisms, leading to uneven pad wear and disc scoring, so a warm-wheel check after driving is sensible. Coolant, gearbox, and brake fluid all degrade on a calendar basis rather than purely by mileage, so verifying service history stamps for these time-based fluid changes will be important, along with confirmation that the cambelt or timing chain service interval has been observed in line with manufacturer schedule for the PureTech petrol engine.
