2011 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · GL60 MKP

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 20 September 2023 at 120,196 miles, but the test recorded rear brake pad wear, rear brake disc wear/pitting, and slight play in the nearside front lower anti‑roll bar ball joint. These defects place the car in a borderline roadworthy state and the maintenance trend shows a gradual deterioration of braking and suspension components over the past five years. Mileage accumulation of 120,196 miles over roughly 15 years averages about 8,000 miles per year, a typical figure for this age group. MOT records are annual from 2014 to 2023, though 2022 shows a fail and immediate pass on the same date, indicating a rapid correction. The three‑year interval since the September 2023 test means the vehicle has been without a valid MOT, adding risk for any prospective owner. A buyer should inspect the rear brake system for pad thickness and disc condition, checking for scoring or corrosion. The nearside front anti‑roll bar ball joint and its dust cover must be examined for play and deterioration. Tyre condition remains a concern; verify rear tyre tread depth, look for cuts or perishing, and assess front tyre wear. Finally, confirm coolant level and inspect front suspension bushes, as low coolant and worn anti‑roll bar components have appeared in previous MOTs.
