2015 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · AF15 GPO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 106,459 miles passed with only minor defects related to a perished offside rear tyre and an inoperative plate lamp, previous records show a pattern of significant mechanical failures. The trend appears stable in terms of immediate compliance, but the recurring failures in earlier years suggest the owner tends to address mechanical issues once they trigger an MOT failure. At 106,459 miles over 11 years, the Peugeot averages approximately 9,700 miles per year, which aligns closely with typical UK usage patterns for a family hatchback. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 9,000 miles driven between the April 2024 and April 2025 tests, and another 8,000 miles recorded by April 2026. This steady use suggests the vehicle does not sit for long periods, though the high mileage justifies expected wear on rubber components and braking systems. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension assembly, as the 2024 test at 89,041 miles revealed multiple failures including suspension arm bushes, ball joints, and an anti-roll bar dust cover. While these were reportedly rectified, the density of these faults suggests the front end is aging. The braking system also requires scrutiny; the record from April 2024 specifically noted thin nearside rear pads and significantly worn discs. You should verify that these components were replaced with quality-grade parts and check for any signs of binding calipers or uneven wear during a test drive.
