2009 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · KR09 XXJ

The most recent MOT on 2025-11-13 recorded a pass with several noted issues, including thin front brake pads, a worn front brake disc, a suspension arm pin or bush showing wear, and multiple tyres near the legal limit or showing damage. These findings align with recurring patterns seen in earlier MOTs, suggesting ongoing maintenance needs rather than sudden deterioration. A failed MOT on 2025-11-12, just one day prior, highlighted more severe concerns, including non-functional stop lamps, brake pad wear to the indicator, and a parking brake failing to meet efficiency standards. This contrast between a pass and failure in consecutive tests indicates potential inconsistency in repairs or oversight, though the subsequent pass suggests some issues were addressed. Recurring mechanical patterns include tyre wear and damage, particularly on the nearside and offside rear tyres, which have been flagged in multiple MOTs since 2023. Brake components also show persistent issues, with front and rear brake pads and discs repeatedly noted as worn or nearing replacement. Suspension arm pin or bush wear has appeared in three MOTs, indicating a possible underlying fault that may not have been fully resolved. The vehicle’s mileage of 152,153 miles over 17 years averages approximately 8,950 miles annually, which is typical for its age. This suggests moderate use rather than heavy wear, though the age alone raises concerns about component longevity. The absence of major mechanical failures in recent MOTs implies the vehicle has been maintained, but the recurring issues highlight the need for careful inspection.
