2016 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · LS16 LRN

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile based on the most recent MOT records. The October 2025 test at 139,040 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a clean pass in October 2024 at 109,192 miles, suggesting that the vehicle has been maintained sufficiently to meet minimum regulatory standards without recurring failures in recent years. The mileage accumulation is significant, averaging approximately 13,904 miles per year over the ten-year lifespan of the vehicle. A notable period of heavy usage is evident between the October 2023 test at 81,754 miles and the October 2024 test at 109,192 miles, where the vehicle covered nearly 28,000 miles in a single year. This high annual mileage increases the expected wear on mechanical components such as the timing belt, suspension bushings, and shock absorbers. While the recent history is clean, the failure recorded on March 31, 2023, at 75,482 miles indicates a previous lapse in upkeep. Although the specific defect was not detailed in the summary, the subsequent rapid mileage increase suggests the car has been used heavily for commuting or long-distance travel. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the underside to check for corrosion on the exhaust system and rear axle, as high-mileage vehicles often show signs of structural oxidation. Given the high mileage, a close examination of the braking system is necessary. Check for uneven wear on the brake discs and ensure the calipers are not binding. You should also inspect the suspension integrity, specifically the coil springs and control arm bushings, which are prone to degradation under heavy usage. Finally, verify that the service history matches the mileage increments to ensure the engine oil and drivetrain fluids have been changed at appropriate intervals.
