2009 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · KY59 DNU

The vehicle remains roadworthy, showing a stable maintenance trend that addresses defects before they escalate into failures. The most recent test in September 2025 at 112,727 miles identified only minor consumable issues, a defective nearside wiper blade and an inoperative offside number plate. This follows a clean record from 2024, suggesting that the current owner is proactive with basic upkeep and reactive repairs as the vehicle reaches higher mileage. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 17-year-old car, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. Data shows steady progression, for example, a 5,496-mile interval between September 2024 and September 2025. This regular use suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which helps prevent internal seals from drying out and fluids degrading. However, the low mileage relative to the age means that rubber components and age-related degradation remain a concern regardless of the low annual distance. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front anti-roll bar linkages, as these were flagged for play in 2019, 2021, and 2023. While the 2024 test showed no defects, the recurring nature of this fault indicates a potential weak point in the front suspension geometry. The history also shows frequent advisories regarding wear and perishing, particularly the 2020 report of cracked rear tyres, necessitating a thorough check of the current sidewalls for dry rot. Finally, verify the brake system condition, as the record noted thin pads back in 2017. While no structural corrosion has been highlighted in the history, a physical check of the underside for sills and mounting points is essential for a Peugeot of this era. The vehicle appears to have been well-maintained for its age, provided the suspension and rubber components have not been neglected since the last MOT intervals.
