2010 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · FT10 HLF

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding reactive rather than proactive repairs. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 143,309 miles passed, it revealed multiple advisories including a severely deteriorated offside front CV boot and a tyre worn close to the legal limit. The failure of the front supplementary restraint system warning lamp to illuminate is a significant safety concern that indicates a potential airbag fault, requiring immediate diagnostic attention to ensure functional operation. At 143,309 miles, this Peugeot 308 has averaged approximately 9,000 miles per year over its sixteen-year life, which aligns with typical national usage patterns. The data shows steady progression, with roughly 8,000 miles covered between September 2024 and August 2025. However, the consistent appearance of brake component issues, such as pitted rear discs noted in 2023 and 2024, suggests that previous owners were only addressing components once they reached a failure point or advisory threshold. A buyer must inspect the front-side drivetrain specifically, as the deteriorated CV boot will lead to grease loss and joint failure if not replaced. The 2024 oil leak advisory warrants a physical inspection of the engine bay to determine if it is a minor seep or an active leak. Furthermore, the recurring reports of uneven tyre wear and structural tyre failure across different axles indicate that alignment or suspension bushes may require checking to prevent further premature consumable wear. The SRS lamp failure remains the highest priority for a physical inspection to confirm if the vehicle's primary safety system is still valid.
