2008 Peugeot 308 1.6L Petrol · KY58 AHJ

The 2023‑10‑20 MOT at 186,311 miles passed, but the vehicle remains marginally roadworthy with several advisory defects; the maintenance trend is neither improving nor deteriorating dramatically, as recurring suspension arm pin and bush wear, rear brake disc pitting, tyre edge wear and a persistent oil leak reappear across successive tests. Mileage has risen from 66,073 miles in November 2020 to 186,311 miles in October 2023, averaging about 10,350 miles per year, with a sharp jump of 77,608 miles between the 2022‑11‑04 and 2023‑10‑20 tests, indicating periods of intensive use that likely accelerated wear on consumables. A buyer should therefore examine the front and rear suspension arm pins and bushes for excessive movement, inspect the rear brake discs and pads for scoring or reduced thickness, check tyre tread especially the inner‑edge wear that suggests alignment or suspension problems, and verify the origin and severity of the oil leak and coolant leak recorded in earlier tests. Further inspection should include the headlamp lenses for functional failure or fading, the exhaust system for leaks that could affect emissions, the steering column for insecure movement noted in the 2016 failure, and the structural condition around missing seats and child‑seat fittings, as these may reflect prior neglect of safety equipment.
