2015 Peugeot 308 1.2L Petrol · KD15 MBU

The vehicle presents a concerning maintenance trend characterized by a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent MOT in September 2025 at 88,797 miles, the preceding failure on the same day reveals a history of neglected mechanical and safety items. The presence of a missing oil filler cap and low coolant levels across multiple tests suggests a persistent lack of basic fluid maintenance by the previous owner, which can lead to accelerated engine wear if not addressed immediately. At 88,797 miles, this 11-year-old has averaged approximately 8,000 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK usage for its age. However, the data shows a significant jump of 10,100 miles between August 2023 and September 2024, followed by another 15,400 miles leading into the 2025 test. This recent increase in mileage explains the rapid wear observed on consumable components, specifically the braking system and suspension, which began requiring attention during the latest inspection interval. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension, as the 2025 record flagged both deteriorating front lower suspension arm bushes and a damaged offside track rod end dust cover. These faults are critical for steering precision and tire wear. The braking system is also nearing the end of its service life, with thin front pads and lipped discs noted as needing replacement. Furthermore, the buyer should verify the engine for signs of oil leaks or overheating given the recurring reports of low fluids and a missing oil filler cap, which indicate a history of poor mechanical monitoring.
