2016 Peugeot 308 2.0L Diesel · KS16 WFF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test on 21 June 2025 at 118,552 miles followed a failure just two days prior for a split nearside front drive shaft constant velocity boot. While the specific fault was rectified immediately to secure a pass, the presence of such a failure suggests that mechanical components are only addressed once they reach a point of legal failure. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical UK usage for a decade-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,800 miles per annum. The car covered 18,115 miles between the May 2023 test at 95,663 miles and the June 2024 test at 113,778 miles, followed by another 4,774 miles in the final year. This steady accumulation suggests the car has been used regularly, which typically places a predictable level of wear on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking system. A buyer should inspect the nearside front drive area to ensure the replacement CV boot is properly seated and free of grease leakage, which indicates joint health. Given the previous failure for an inoperative rear plate lamp in 2024, a thorough check of all exterior lighting and wiring looms is necessary to ensure no further electrical regressions exist. The high mileage also warrants a physical inspection of the suspension geometry for play or rubber fraying on control arms, as these components on the Peugeot 308 often show significant degradation after the 100,000-mile mark.
