2013 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · KY13 VWA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive ownership pattern. The most recent test in January 2026 at 140,596 miles flagged front brake pads as wearing thin. This follows a similar advisory from the January 2025 test where the nearside rear brake pads were noted as being thin. While the car continues to pass, the recurring nature of brake wear suggests the owner only addresses components once they approach the point of failure during an inspection. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,800 miles per year. Between February 2022 and January 2026, the car covered 31,189 miles, representing a steady usage rate of roughly 7,800 miles annually during that period. There are no significant gaps in the testing history to suggest the vehicle has sat stationary for long periods, though the high total mileage places significant strain on age-related components such as the suspension bushings and drivetrain assembly. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system to ensure the discs are not scored or thinned due to delayed replacement of pads. The history also shows recurring tyre wear issues in 2022 and 2024, where tyres were worn to the limit or edges, which often points to alignment problems or worn shock absorbers. Given the mileage and age, a physical check of the structural integrity and suspension control arm bushes is essential, as these areas are not fully covered by the standard MOT test.
