2021 Peugeot 308 1.5L Diesel · KP21 EGD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test in March 2026 at 150,085 miles shows the vehicle passed despite multiple advisories regarding worn components and lighting. While the car continues to pass tests, the recurring nature of faults like thin brake pads, pitted discs, and deteriorating rubber suggests that the previous owner only addresses issues once they reach the point of failure or are flagged by the MOT tester. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging 30,000 miles per year. Between March 2024 and March 2026, the car covered 47,752 miles in just two years, indicating heavy motorway or commercial use. This intense usage puts significant strain on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems. The rapid accumulation of miles explains the frequent reports of worn brake components and failing CV boots, as these parts are reaching the end of life much faster than a standard commuter vehicle. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension and drivetrain assembly. The offside outer drive shaft CV boot has been flagged as severely deteriorated since 2025 and remains a concern as of 2026; if not replaced, this will lead to premature gearbox or driveshaft failure. The front braking system shows a consistent history of pitted discs and thin pads across three years, indicating the components are likely nearing the end of their service life and require replacement. The tyres also show a pattern of neglect, with the nearside rear tyre consistently noted near the legal limit in both 2025 and 2026. This suggests a lack of routine pressure checks or potential alignment issues causing the edge wear. Given the high mileage and recurring mechanical advisories, the buyer should also check for signs of fluid leaks and excessive wear on the suspension bushes which are not yet detailed in the record but are likely degraded under these conditions.
