2018 Peugeot 308 1.2L Petrol · LN68 FSV

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 1 June 2026 with no defects or advisories recorded. Looking at the broader history, the maintenance trend appears stable and consistent. Previous failures were limited to minor, non-mechanical issues such as headlamp aim and insufficient washer fluid, both of which are trivial rectification points. This suggests a vehicle that has been kept in a roadworthy condition without significant structural or systemic mechanical failures. With a recorded mileage of 60,065 miles over approximately eight years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 7,500 miles per annum. This represents a typical usage profile for a domestic hatchback, avoiding the extremes of excessive wear associated with high-mileage fleet use or the degradation risks linked to prolonged periods of standing. Mechanically, this mileage suggests that while major components should still have significant life remaining, the vehicle is entering a phase where routine wear-and-tear items will require closer scrutiny. A specific point of attention is the 2025 advisory regarding slight play in the offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint. While the most recent test was clean, you should verify if this component was replaced or if the play has progressed. During a test drive, listen for a distinctive knocking or clicking sound when traversing uneven road surfaces or speed bumps. Additionally, previous advisories regarding tyre wear on the nearside front suggest a need to inspect the current tread depth and check for uneven wear patterns, which could indicate a requirement for wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes. Given the vehicle age, a physical inspection should focus on calendar-based maintenance rather than just mileage. Ensure the service history confirms the replacement of the timing belt and water pump if required by the manufacturer's interval, as these are critical failure points for vehicles of this vintage. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or a pronounced lip, and check that the calipers are not binding. Finally, verify the health of the 12V battery and check for any perishing or sidewall cracking on the tyres if they have not been replaced recently, as rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth.
