2013 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · BT13 TYK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the recent MOT history reveals a trend of reactive maintenance rather than proactive care. While it passed its latest test in September 2025 at 64,645 miles, it had failed just two days prior at 64,601 miles due to significant electronic faults involving the ABS, electronic stability control, and supplementary restraint system. The fact that the vehicle passed immediately after these major-related faults were flagged suggests that the owner only addressed critical safety systems when forced by the testing process. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 64,645 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. This low usage pattern often results in less mechanical wear, yet the gap between the October 2024 test at 55,805 miles and the September 2025 test shows a period of relative inactivity. Such periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber components and the onset of corrosion on metal surfaces, which is consistent with the pitted condition of the brake discs noted in the most recent records. A buyer must inspect the front braking system closely, as the record shows a persistent issue of pitting and scoring on the discs dating back to 2024 and through 2025. The broken nearside front headlight mounting and defective nearside rear indicator lens indicate a lack of attention to minor cosmetic and lighting defects. Most importantly, the ABS and stability control systems require a thorough diagnostic check to ensure the sensor-related faults from the 2025 failure have been permanently rectified and are not intermittent electronic failures that could reappear under driving.
