2010 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · BK10 NXM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in June 2022 at 114,472 miles showed a pass, it flagged a binding offside rear brake and an engine oil leak. These issues, alongside the persistent oil leak noted in 2019, 2020, and 2021, suggest a long-term mechanical condition that has not been fully rectified. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,154 miles per year. Between the 2019 test at 100,785 miles and the 2022 test at 114,472 miles, the car covered roughly 4,500 miles annually. However, there is a significant gap in data as the last recorded MOT is from June 2022. Given the current date, four years have passed without an inspection, masking potential degradation of rubber components or fluid leaks despite the low annual mileage. A buyer must inspect the structural integrity of the nearside rear sill where accident damage was noted in 2022. The recurring reports of inner-edge tyre wear in 2019 indicate a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require a physical check. Furthermore, the 2019 failure for visible exhaust smoke and injector chuffing points to potential fuel system issues or turbo wear that may lead to expensive repairs if the engine continues to leak oil excessively. The binding caliper identified in 2022 also should be verified to ensure the braking system and engine seals are properly maintained.
