2011 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · FV11 YKF

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile following a recent successful MOT on 23 April 2026 at 139,630 miles. While the most recent test required a retest due to a failed offside dipped beam headlamp, the vehicle passed immediately after the repair. The history shows a pattern of addressing minor consumable issues, such as lighting and tyres, rather than significant mechanical or structural failures. There is no evidence of recurring suspension, steering, or exhaust system defects in the provided records. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,300 miles per year. The data shows steady usage without long periods of inactivity or sudden spikes in mileage. Between April 2018 and April 2026, the odometer moved from 89,894 to 139,630 miles, reflecting a predictable and regular driving pattern. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has been in regular service rather than sitting idle, which helps mitigate certain types of age-related deterioration. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyre condition. The 2020 test at 111,183 miles flagged thin brake pads, worn discs, and a low hydraulic reservoir, while the 2022 test noted thinning pads and tyre perishing. Although these issues appear to have been addressed, the recurring nature of these consumables suggests they require close monitoring. The frequent advisories regarding tyre tread depth and edge wear between 2017 and 2024 indicate that the owner often operates the vehicle close to legal limits. The inspection should also include a check of the lighting assemblies and windscreen washer system. The records show multiple failures related to headlamp operation and washer functionality in 2021, 2023, 2024, and 2026. While these are minor electrical and maintenance items, their recurrence suggests a tendency to overlook basic upkeep. Verifying the integrity of the battery and electrical connections would be a prudent step to ensure these components remain reliable.
