2009 Peugeot 308 1.6L Petrol · KR09 MLU

The 2024-05-13 MOT shows a pass with a single advisory: nearside windscreen damage that does not impair the driver’s view. However, a failed MOT on the same date lists multiple issues, including windscreen wiper inefficiency, tyre tread wear below 1.0mm on both front tyres, and deteriorated anti-roll bar ball joint dust covers. These findings suggest ongoing maintenance concerns, particularly with tyres and suspension components. The 2023-06-12 MOT recorded a pass but noted minor exhaust leaks, drive shaft joint wear, and oil leaks. A prior failed MOT in 2023-06-05 highlighted more severe issues, including worn shock absorber bushes, damaged drive shaft boots, and exhaust emissions faults. These recurring problems indicate persistent mechanical wear, especially in the suspension, exhaust, and tyre systems. The 2022-06-11 MOT revealed further issues, such as tyre wear, suspension component deterioration, and a pitted rear brake disc. While some faults were minor, the frequency of suspension and tyre-related defects suggests a pattern of gradual wear. The vehicle’s mileage of 117,014 miles (roughly 6,883 miles per year) aligns with typical usage for its age, but does not definitively indicate heavy use or neglect. The condition trend shows mixed signals : recent MOTs include both passes and failures, with some issues resolved (e.g., windscreen damage) and others recurring (e.g., tyre tread, suspension dust covers).
