2017 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · FJ17 VDX

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a shift towards component wear. While it passed the most recent test in November 2025 at 65,414 miles, the tester identified pitting and scoring on both front and rear brake discs. Although these did not result in a failure, they indicate that the braking hardware is reaching the end of its effective life, marking a departure from the clean records seen in the previous years. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. Between the November 2023 test at 46,351 miles and the November 2025 test at 65,414 miles, the car covered 19,063 miles, showing steady usage. This low mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme stress, though the infrequent use can sometimes lead to the surface corrosion noted on the brake components in the latest MOT report. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system. The 2022 advisory for thin front inner brake pads followed by the 2025 report of pitted discs suggests that the previous owner may have deferred preventative maintenance until components became visible. Check the remaining thickness of the pads and ensure the scored discs have not caused uneven pad wear. Given the age of the Peugeot, also inspect the suspension bushes and rubber components for cracking, as these parts can degrade over time regardless of low mileage.
