2010 Peugeot 308 1.4L Petrol · BN10 VTZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a concerning decline in preventative care. While the car passed its test in February 2026 at 94,900 miles, the tester identified multiple significant defects that were absent in previous years. This recent history represents a shift from the clean records seen between 2023 and 2025, suggesting that the owner is now only addressing mechanical issues once they reach a point of failure. The recorded mileage of 94,900 miles is notably low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. The usage pattern appears relatively consistent, with a gap of roughly 1,700 miles covered between January 2024 and January 2025, and another 1,400 miles between January 2025 and February 2026. However, the low annual mileage often correlates with the degradation of rubber-based components due to age and stationary periods, which aligns with the failures found in the most recent inspection report. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry and drivetrain components. The severe inner edge wear on both front tyres noted in February 2026 indicates a significant alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require immediate attention. The recurring failure of the front CV boots—failing a test in early 2024 and appearing severely deteriorated again in 2026—suggests that previous repairs were either poorly executed or that the components are failing prematurely. You should check for grease leakage around the drive shafts to ensure the joints have not yet suffered internal damage from ingress.
