2014 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · GJ64 ABF

The 2014 Peugeot 308 holds a current and valid MOT certificate issued on April 28, 2026, at 94,979 miles with zero defects recorded. This clean pass follows a turbulent period of maintenance where previous neglect required substantial rectification. The vehicle demonstrates an improving maintenance trend now that core consumable items have been addressed, moving away from consecutive failures in April 2024 and April 2025. With an average of roughly 7,915 miles covered annually over twelve years, the odometer progression reflects steady, typical domestic use without excessive clustering or prolonged periods of inactivity. The mileage accrued predictably from 39,770 miles in March 2020 to the present figure. Annual distance travelled remained consistent throughout the pandemic years and beyond, sitting comfortably within standard UK motoring averages. Recurring issues with tyre degradation and braking components dominate the history, pointing to a previous pattern of deferred maintenance where consumables ran down to dangerous extremes. Testers flagged multiple tyres worn close to the legal limit or down to exposed cords in April 2024 and April 2025, alongside dangerously thin rear brake pads measuring under 1.5 millimetres. The front nearside service brake also bound slightly during the 2024 test, while a suspension arm ball joint dust cover lost its integrity by April 2025. Prospective buyers must thoroughly inspect the condition of all four tyres and verify even tread wear across the shoulders, given the persistent alignment or inflation neglect visible in past advisories. A physical check of the rear brake discs and pads is essential to confirm the longevity of the recent replacements. Lifting the front end to examine the nearside suspension arm ball joint for play or premature wear caused by the compromised dust cover remains a priority during any pre-purchase inspection.
