2014 Peugeot 308 1.6L Petrol · LS64 LFJ

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a pass on 2 July 2026 at 64,638 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a recurring pattern of minor electrical and consumable failures. The most recent test required a rectification of an inoperative registration plate lamp to clear a failure, which follows a similar issue regarding the nearside registration lamp in July 2025. While these are minor non-mechanical faults, they suggest a tendency for basic bulb maintenance to be overlooked until the annual inspection. The mileage profile indicates low usage for a 2014 vehicle, averaging approximately 5,386 miles per year. The data shows consistent, gradual accumulation, moving from 49,852 miles in September 2022 to 64,638 miles in July 2026. This low annual mileage often correlates with less wear on heavy mechanical components, but it can also lead to secondary issues such as tyre perishing or fluid degradation. The record confirms this, with multiple entries between 2019 and 2022 flagging tyres that were cracking, perishing, or wearing close to the legal limit. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the suspension and braking systems. The September 2023 test flagged a fractured nearside rear coil spring and a structural tyre failure, indicating that components may be reaching the end of their service life due to age rather than distance. The July 2024 advisory regarding pitted and scored rear brake discs suggests that while the braking system is functional, the discs are showing signs of surface corrosion or wear that will eventually require replacement. Inspection of the tyres is also necessary to ensure they are not showing the cracking or uneven wear patterns noted in the 2021 and 2022 tests. The 2022 report of fluctuating offside front service brakes warrants a physical check for binding calipers or warped discs. Given the history of low oil level warnings in 2020 and various tyre issues, a thorough check of all fluid levels and the condition of the rubber components is advised to ensure the vehicle has been maintained beyond the bare minimum required to pass an MOT.
