2017 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · MJ67 AWC

A recurring pattern of brake-related advisories is the defining mechanical characteristic of this vehicle, with the most recent test on 11 February 2026 confirming a passing result despite noting a nearside front service brake binding and thin rear inner brake pads. This follows a trend of wear observed in previous years, including pitted or scored rear brake discs and thinning pads across all four corners in 2022. While the vehicle has maintained a consistent pass record since 2020, the frequency of advisories concerning braking components suggests a progressive wear profile that requires close monitoring. The vehicle has covered 119,919 miles over its nine-year lifespan, averaging approximately 13,324 miles per year. This represents a higher-than-average annual mileage for a 2017 model, which typically correlates with increased mechanical wear on consumable items and chassis components. This high-frequency usage pattern explains the consistent appearance of advisories related to tyre tread depth and braking systems, as the components are subject to regular and significant operational stress. Prospective buyers should pay particular attention to the braking system during a test drive to address the most recent advisories. The report of a binding nearside front brake suggests the potential for uneven pad wear or heat buildup; listen for any unusual smells or feel for a pulling sensation toward the nearside when braking at low speeds. Additionally, the advisory regarding thin rear inner pads indicates that the rear braking assembly is nearing a replacement interval. It is advisable to check for any pulsation or judder through the brake pedal, which could indicate that the previously noted pitted or scored discs have not been adequately addressed. Tyre condition also warrants inspection, given the history of tyres being recorded as worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges in both 2022 and 2023. During a test drive, observe the vehicle's tracking by checking for any steering pull or unevenness in the steering wheel position when driving on a straight road, as edge wear can often be a symptom of alignment issues. Ensuring that the current tyre tread and wear patterns do not mirror the previous advisories will be essential for confirming the current roadworthiness of the vehicle's running gear.
