2015 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · CE15 SZT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive mechanical care. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 190,131 miles passed, the tester flagged a severely worn clutch pedal, suggesting a significant mechanical component is nearing end of life. This follows a pattern seen in 2025 where the car failed initially and then passed only after minor electrical and suspension repairs were addressed. At 190,131 miles, this Peugeot has covered significantly more ground than the national average, averaging approximately 17,200 miles per year. The data shows consistent and heavy usage, with 13,600 miles recorded between February 2024 and March 2025, and another 12,500 miles covered in the twelve months following that. This high-frequency operation places considerable stress on the drivetrain and suspension components, which explains the recurring failures of wear items noted in the record. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry. The 2025 failure specifically highlighted excessive play in the nearside front track rod end and a perished anti-roll bar linkage dust cover. While these were rectified, the high mileage suggests that other bushes, ball joints, and coil springs may soon follow suit. The severely worn clutch pedal noted in the 2026 test is a primary concern that likely indicates internal hydraulic wear or bearing degradation, which is an expensive repair on this model. The record also shows intermittent neglect of basic consumables, such as the inoperative registration lamps and defective wiper blades found in 2024 and 2025. The 2024 advisory for an offside front tyre worn to the legal limit further suggests the owner often waits until a failure occurs before performing maintenance. Given the mileage and the state of the clutch, the buyer should check for signs of fluid leaks and unusual noises from the drivetrain to ensure the vehicle does not require immediate major capital investment.
