2009 Peugeot 308 1.6L Petrol · GK09 UYC

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 107,830 miles passed, it flagged recurring issues with pitting and scoring on both front brake discs alongside an oil leak that has appeared in three consecutive annual tests. The persistence of brake-related faults suggests that components are only being addressed when they approach a failure threshold rather than being replaced during scheduled servicing. At 107,830 miles over 17 years, the car has averaged approximately 6,300 miles per year, which is consistent with low-to-moderate urban usage. However, the data shows a significant spike in activity between January 2024 and January 2025, where the vehicle covered nearly 6,000 miles in twelve months. This period of increased use coincided with a series of failures involving suspension components and lighting, indicating that the vehicle's mechanical assemblies are currently under high stress relative to their age despite the low total mileage. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry. The record shows previous failures of the nearside track rod end ball joint, the nearside anti-roll bar ball joint, and the suspension arm ball joint. Combined with the repeated reports of inner-edge tyre wear in 2024 and 2025, this indicates a likely persistent alignment issue or worn bushings that will continue to accelerate tyre degradation. The engine oil leak noted in 2026 should also be identified to ensure it remains a minor gasket seep rather than a high-pressure leak that could risk engine failure.
