2019 Peugeot 308 1.5L Diesel · KT19 OUB

The vehicle presents a current MOT pass but with a clear deterioration in maintenance standards. The August 2025 test at 89,259 miles recorded two new advisories for front tyres worn close to the legal limit and a rear brake disc worn, pitted or scored. This follows a clean pass in April 2024 and represents a worsening trend, as the rear brake disc issue first appeared in the April 2022 test at 50,475 miles and has now recurred, compounded by significant tyre wear. Mileage accumulation is exceptionally high, averaging approximately 12,750 miles annually. The recorded history shows a significant jump of over 17,000 miles between the April 2024 test (71,890 miles) and the August 2025 test (89,259 miles), indicating a period of very heavy use. The sparse testing record—with a 16-month gap before the latest test—means the vehicle's condition at present may be worse than the last official check suggests, particularly given the rapid mileage gain and the advisories already present at that point. A buyer must physically inspect the brake system and tyres with particular scrutiny. The recurring advisory for a worn rear brake disc suggests either aggressive braking habits or neglected servicing; both rear discs should be examined for excessive scoring, thickness variation, and potential binding calipers. The front tyres, flagged as worn on the edge, require immediate replacement and should prompt an inspection of the front suspension geometry, specifically tracking and any worn suspension bushes that could cause uneven wear. Given the high annual mileage, a comprehensive check of all suspension components, driveshafts, and the exhaust system for corrosion or fatigue is also strongly advised.
