2017 Peugeot 308 1.6L Petrol · AE17 YHO

This 2017 Peugeot 308 presents a mixed mechanical picture. The most recent MOT, conducted on 23 September 2025 at 105,041 miles, passed but flagged cracking or perishing on three tyres and a worn, pitted front brake disc. These advisories suggest the vehicle has recently been covering miles without prompt replacement of degraded rubber or braking components. Comparing this to the clean pass on 3 October 2024 at 90,723 miles, the maintenance trend has worsened over the last year, with multiple new tyre and brake advisories surfacing after a period of defect-free testing. The mileage accumulation of roughly 14,318 miles between October 2024 and September 2025 is notably higher than the vehicle's typical annual average of 11,671 miles. This recent uptick in use, following a relatively stable pattern of around 10,000 miles per year between 2021 and 2023, has coincided with the emergence of wear-related advisories. The 2023 test at 80,815 miles already showed both front tyres with inner edge wear and pitted front discs, indicating that tyre and brake wear has been a recurring theme rather than a sudden decline. Buyers should pay close attention to the condition of the front brake discs and pads, given that pitted and scored discs have appeared in three of the last four MOTs, most recently in September 2025. The repeated tyre advisories, including cracking, perishing, and uneven inner tread wear, point to potential alignment or suspension bush wear that has not been corrected. A thorough inspection of the front suspension, including tracking and bush condition, is advisable alongside a hands-on check of all four tyres for age-related deterioration, particularly if the car has been standing for extended periods between uses.
