2011 Peugeot 308 1.6L Petrol · LC61 AAX

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 23 October 2025. A review of the testing history indicates a trend of recurring advisories rather than a consistent improvement in condition. While the vehicle passed after a failure in 2025 regarding headlamp aim, several mechanical issues have appeared in consecutive tests, suggesting that certain components are reaching the end of their service life or are being affected by the vehicle's usage patterns. The recorded mileage of 53,033 miles is notably low for a 2011 model, averaging approximately 3,536 miles per year. This low annual mileage suggests the vehicle has seen light use or has spent significant periods stationary. While this typically implies less wear on high-mileage components, it can also contribute to the degradation of rubber-based parts and the surface oxidation of metal components due to lack of regular operation. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and rear axle assembly. The MOT records show persistent advisories regarding both front and rear brake discs being worn, pitted, or scored across the 2024 and 2025 inspections. These issues have remained unaddressed through multiple tests, indicating that the discs may require replacement in the near future. Additionally, the rear axle swivel pins and bushes on both the nearside and offside have been flagged as slightly worn in the last two consecutive years. Further inspection should be carried out on the tyres and lighting systems. The 2024 records noted an advisory for an offside rear tyre showing signs of damage, cracking, or perishing, which is a common occurrence with low-mileage vehicles where rubber ages over time. Although the 2025 failure regarding the offside headlamp aim was rectified for the pass, the buyer should verify the correct alignment and condition of all lighting units to ensure continued compliance.
