2019 Peugeot 308 1.5L Diesel · DA69 UTG

The Peugeot 308 is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward worsening. While it passed its most recent test in November 2025, it followed a failure just one day prior due to critical issues. The transition from a clean certificate in 2024 to multiple safety-related advisories suggests that routine preventative maintenance has recently been neglected. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's seven-year age, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. There was a notable gap of nearly 12,000 miles between late 2023 and late 2024, followed by a rapid accumulation of over 12,000 miles in the following year. This steady usage indicates the car is used for regular commuting rather than sitting stationary, which explains the accelerated wear observed on consumable components in the latest inspection results. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the tyres and suspension, as the most recent tests flagged all three tyres as reaching the legal limit with uneven edge wear, and one was previously failed for having exposed cords. This pattern of wear often indicates alignment issues or worn suspension bushings. Additionally, the front enough pads were noted as thinning, confirming that the braking system is due for immediate attention. The buyer must also verify that the items removed from the driver's view prior to the test have been addressed, as these obstructions caused an automatic failure. While no structural rust has been recorded in this history, the focus should remain on the mechanical health of the running gear to ensure the uneven wear is not causing deeper damage.
