2013 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · LB62 JOV

The Peugeot 308 has a stable maintenance trend, with the most recent test in January 2026 passing at 113,469 miles, recording only a minor oil leak and steering rack play. However, the 2025 tests reveal recurring brake issues, including worn and pitted discs, binding service brakes, and imbalanced rear brakes, suggesting ongoing wear on the braking system. The 2024 tests show a clean pass, but the prior failure highlights a need for careful inspection of the rear brakes and washer system. The vehicle's age and mileage align with typical wear patterns for its class, but the recurring brake advisories indicate a need for vigilance. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, with tests spaced roughly annually. The 2024 tests at 86,863 miles and the 2025 tests at 102,386 miles show steady mileage accumulation, with no significant gaps or rapid increases. The 2026 test at 113,469 miles confirms this pattern, with the vehicle maintaining a steady 11,000 miles per year. This suggests the vehicle has been used regularly, with no evidence of long-term neglect or heavy use. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the braking system, including the rear brakes, service brakes, and discs, as recurring advisories suggest ongoing wear. The rear brake imbalance in 2024 and the binding service brakes in 2025 indicate potential issues with the rear suspension or brake calipers. The steering rack play and oil leak advisories also warrant attention, as these could signal wear in the steering system or potential fluid leaks. The washer system failure in 2024 should be verified, as it could be a minor consumable issue or a more serious electrical problem. The vehicle's age and mileage suggest that consumables like tyres, wiper blades, and brake pads may need replacement, but the structural integrity appears sound based on the MOT history.
