2014 Peugeot 308 1.6L Petrol · LN14 VSO

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 65,486 miles passed, it flagged front brake discs as pitted and scored. This follows a more problematic inspection in July 2024 where multiple items required attention. The transition from clean records between 2021 and 2023 to developing mechanical advisories suggests the vehicle is entering a phase where aged components require frequent replacement. At 65,486 miles, this 2014 Peugeot has covered a low-average distance, travelling approximately 5,457 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent, with a gap of roughly 2,600 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests. However, low-mileage vehicles often suffer from accelerated degradation of rubber components and corrosion due to long periods of inactivity, which may explain the wear observed on the suspension arm bush and the brake components noted in the 2024 test. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry, as the 2024 advisory noted a worn offside lower suspension arm bush. Although this did not cause a failure, such wear can lead to uneven tyre degradation if left untreated. The braking system requires a close look; the pitted discs recorded in 2025 and the thin pads from 2024 indicate the front assembly is nearing overhaul. Verify that the nearside front tyre flagged in 2024 has actually been replaced with a unit of adequate tread depth and no edge wear.
