2010 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · KM10 FHD

The most recent MOT on 2025-10-22 recorded several issues including rear tyres with slight damage/cracking, an oil leak, and all four tyres worn close to legal limits. These were categorised as minor defects but highlight ongoing tyre and sealing concerns. The same vehicle failed an MOT just one day earlier with identical tyre issues, plus a non-working stop lamp. This suggests repeated attention is needed for tyres and electrical systems. A pattern of brake-related defects emerged in 2024, including thin brake pads, worn discs, and a binding service brake. These indicate progressive wear on braking components, which are critical safety elements. The 2023 MOT noted a broken headlight bracket and rear tyre damage, showing sporadic but varied issues. Overall, the history shows recurring but not severe problems, with no major safety risks reported beyond tyres, brakes, and minor leaks. The vehicle’s mileage of 171,268 miles is typical for its 16-year age, averaging around 10,700 miles annually. This suggests normal usage rather than excessive wear or long-term storage.
