2011 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · AD11 HGK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in August 2021 at 78,087 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows a period of improvement following a cluster of recorded wear-related issues. While the 2020 test flagged multiple brake and tyre concerns, the clean sheet from the subsequent test suggests that the previous owner addressed these identified mechanical requirements before the next inspection interval. The mileage profile is notably low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,200 miles per year. There is a significant gap in the record between the 2016 test at 45,031 miles and the 2021 test at 78,087 miles, during which the car covered over 33,000 miles in five years. This pattern suggests intermittent use, though low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from the degradation of rubber-based components, seals, and potential corrosion on brake discs if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system, as the history shows recurring thin pads across all four axles between 2019 and 2020. Despite the recent pass, the discs should be checked for pitting or corrosion caused by low usage over time. Given the nearside front tyre edge wear noted in 2020, a thorough check of the front geometry and suspension bushes is necessary to ensure there is no uneven wear developing. Additionally, the age of the vehicle warrants a close look at the structural integrity and underside for rust, as these areas were not specifically highlighted in the recent advisories.
