2010 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · AF60 KNH

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of deferred attention regarding the braking system. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 95,138 miles passed, it flagged persistent issues with rear brake binding and pitted discs. These specific faults were also present during the September 2023 test at 88,270 miles, indicating that the owner has opted for reactive repairs rather than addressing the underlying condition of the braking hardware. At 95,138 miles over 16 years, the Peugeot 308 shows low annual usage, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. The data shows a significant gap between September 2022 at 86,076 miles and September 2023, where the vehicle covered only 2,194 miles in twelve months. This low mileage often correlates with the degradation of rubber-based components, such as the perishing offside rear tyre noted in 2023 and the defective wiper blade, which age regardless of distance driven. A buyer must inspect the steering system thoroughly, as the tester identified play in the steering rack inner joints in 2023. This mechanical wear can lead to imprecise handling and uneven tyre wear if not rectified. Furthermore, the 2023 failure regarding the supplementary restraint system warning lamp indicates a past electrical or airbag fault that must be verified as having been properly cleared and currently functional. The recurring binding of the rear brakes suggests the calipers may be seizing or the sliders are corroded, which will continue to cause premature wear on the discs and pads.
