2016 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · LN16 FSF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend in reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent test in February 2026 at 108,930 miles, it had failed just one day prior with multiple critical safety defects. The presence of a fractured nearside coil spring, exposed cords on the offside front tyre, and two rear tyres below the legal limit indicates that the owner only addressed mechanical faults when forced by an MOT failure rather than performing preventative maintenance during service intervals. The recorded mileage of 108,930 miles over ten years reflects a consistent usage pattern of approximately 10,900 miles per annum. The data shows steady accumulation, with roughly 8,500 miles covered between March 2023 and February 2024, and another 10,470 miles between February 2025 and February 2026. This regularity suggests the vehicle is used for regular commuting, which explains the consistent wear patterns on consumable components like brake hardware and suspension bushings noted throughout the record. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension, as the nearside anti-roll bar ball joint has shown persistent play since 2025. The February 2026 test also flagged rear shock absorbers with reduced damping, a condition that likely requires immediate replacement to ensure vehicle stability. Given the recurring mentions of thin brake pads and pitted discs dating back to 2023, the entire braking system should be evaluated for uneven wear or seized calipers, as the history suggests a pattern of letting components run to the end of their functional life.
