2016 Peugeot 308 1.6L Petrol · JM16 CAM

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, having passed five consecutive tests over the last four years. The most recent inspection in April 2026 at 27,662 miles returned a pass, despite noted wear on both the nearside and offside front brake discs. While these did not result in a failure, they indicate that the braking system is beginning to reach the end of its effective service life despite the low overall mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,766 miles per year. Between the March 2022 test at 19,073 miles and the 2026 test at 27,662 miles, the car covered only 8,589 miles. This consistent low usage suggests short-distance commuting patterns, which often reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain but can lead to issues with rubber components drying out or surface corrosion on braking components due to lack of vigorous use. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the front braking assembly to assess the thickness of the discs flagged in the April 2026 report. The 2023 test advisory at 21,518 miles regarding a damaged outer wall on the nearside rear tyre suggests a potential for curb damage or impact that should be monitored for. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also check the age of the tyres and the condition of suspension bushings, as these components often degrade through time rather than through mileage on vehicles that sit frequently.
