2015 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · CA64 XOV

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the latest test in December 2025 at 77,671 miles passed, it followed an immediate failure just one day prior. This failure identified a broken front coil spring and a faulty washer system, which were addressed to secure the subsequent pass. The recurring nature of worn suspension bushes and tyre issues suggests that the owner only addresses faults when they threaten an MOT rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 13,815 miles recorded between November 2024 and December 2025, indicating a period of higher usage compared to the previous year. This surge in mileage likely explains the rapid degradation of consumable components, specifically the front brake discs and suspension arm bushes noted during that period. The interval between the tests suggests the car is used regularly but suffers from accelerated wear between annual testing cycles. A buyer must closely inspect the front suspension geometry, as both front suspension arm bushes were flagged as worn in the December 2025 test. The fractured coil spring from the same visit indicates a potential for neglect regarding underbody components which could affect handling and tyre life. Furthermore, the history shows a pattern of poor tyre management, with multiple tyres reaching the legal limit or failing it in 2024 and 2025. Given the recurring issues with child seats obstructing seat belt inspections across several years, you should verify that all seatbelts are fully functional and unobstructed before purchase.
