2016 Peugeot 308 2.0L Diesel · KJ16 FFG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent test result indicates a lapse in basic preventative maintenance. While the car passed its previous inspections in 2023 and 2025 without any defects, it failed the January 2026 test artwork to tyre-related failures. The fact that it passed the retest on the same day suggests the overall mechanical condition remains stable, but the failure to monitor tyre tread required immediate attention. The' pattern is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,900 miles per year. There is a notable gap of over 14,000 miles between December 2023 and January 2025, followed by another 14,400 miles in the following year leading up to early 2026. This regularity suggests the car is used consistently rather than left to sit for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the rubber components, seals, and braking system. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front-end suspension and alignment. The edge wear noted on the nearside front tyre during the 2026 failure often points to tracking issues, worn bushes, or incorrect camber geometry. Given that the vehicle had a clean history for several years, the focus should be on ensuring that this recent failure was an isolated incident of neglect rather than a developing mechanical fault in the steeringManagement or suspension arms.
