2008 Peugeot 308 1.6L Petrol · KT08 YRY

The vehicle presents a concerning maintenance profile characterized by a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive care. While the most recent MOT recorded in February 2022 at 96,910 miles passed, it followed a significant failure just one day prior. The trend suggests the owner only addresses faults when forced by a testing failure. The lack of any MOT records since early 2022 means the vehicle is currently over four years out of test, making its present roadworthiness entirely unknown and potentially illegal for immediate use. At 96,910 miles, this 2008 Peugeot has covered significantly less distance than average, averaging roughly 5,300 miles annually. This low usage often leads to the degradation of rubber components, which is evident in the perishing and cracking of the rear tyres noted in 2022. The four-year mileage gap between the 2021 and 2022 tests suggests the car may have sat stationary for long periods, which correlates with the persistent oil leaks and the deterioration of the CV boot boot noted throughout the history. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the suspension and braking systems. The record shows recurring issues with coil springs in 2021 and 2022, alongside chronic wear and pitting on the brake discs and pads. The persistent oil leak mentioned since 2021 requires a physical assessment to determine if it is a minor gasket seep or a more serious seal failure. Given the inoperative MIL light reported in 2022, the engine management system should also be scanned to ensure no hidden electronic faults have been cleared or ignored.
