2015 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · MD15 EXB

The vehicle’s most recent MOT activity on 2026‑03‑05 shows a mixed outcome, with a PASS entry still listing worn brake discs, thin pads, an oil leak, a rear brake grab and a non‑functional registration plate lamp, while a FAIL entry adds low headlamp aim and the same defects. The pattern of faults has intensified in the past two years, moving from the largely clean records of 2022‑2024 to recurring brake wear, suspension wear and lighting issues, indicating a worsening maintenance trend rather than improvement. Mileage progression indicates roughly 10 600 mi per year over the car’s 11‑year life, reaching 116 372 mi in March 2026. The jump from 107 435 mi (Feb 2024) to 115 138 mi (Mar 2025) added about 7 700 mi in 13 months, a notable increase, whereas the subsequent year to March 2026 added only 1 200 mi, suggesting a period of low utilisation or storage. The gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests is relatively sparse, hinting at limited MOT activity during that interval. A buyer should inspect the brake system for disc wear and pad thickness on both axles, check the offside rear service brake for the slight grab reported, and examine the oil system for the source of the leak. Suspension integrity requires attention to the rear sub‑frame pins and bushes, which show slight movement, and the anti‑roll bar ball joint noted in 2021. Lighting defects include low headlamp aim, an inoperative levelling device and a faulty registration plate lamp. Visual assessment of rust around the sub‑frame and a thorough brake‑disc condition check are also advisable before purchase.
