2016 Peugeot 308 2.0L Diesel · KX16 DDK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred repairs regarding wear components. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 78,009 miles resulted in a pass, it followed a failure just one day prior due to a split offside front CV boot. The recurring presence of a defective rear exhaust mounting and persistent anti-roll bar linkage play across multiple testing years suggests that the previous owner only addressed mechanical faults once they reached the threshold of an MOT failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 78,009 miles over ten years, the car has averaged approximately 7,800 miles per annum, which aligns with typical national averages for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 4,500 miles covered between February 2025 and March 2026, and another 4,400 miles between February 2024 and February 2025. This steady mileage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which can often lead to accelerated degradation of rubber components and brake fluid. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension, as the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage has been flagged for play in both 2025 and 2026. The offside front CV boot, though recently replaced following the March 2026 failure, should be checked for grease leakage which indicates premature joint damage. Furthermore, the consistent history of worn and pitted front brake discs since 2024 indicates that the braking system is nearing the end of its service life. The rear exhaust mounting also requires physical verification to ensure the system is properly secured and free from vibration or failure.
