2013 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · ML13 HZF

The vehicle demonstrates a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 4 March 2026 at 81,060 miles. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories in the last two consecutive annual tests indicates that the current owner has maintained the vehicle to a high standard. This trajectory suggests that previous mechanical shortcomings have been addressed, leaving the car in a reliable state for its age. The recorded mileage of 81,060 miles over thirteen years equates to an average annual usage of approximately 6,235 miles, which is well within expected parameters for a vehicle of this type. The accumulation remains consistent year-on-year, with no evidence of long periods of inactivity or excessive high-mileage strain. This steady usage pattern typically points to a vehicle that has been driven regularly rather than left to sit, which helps prevent issues like seized brake components or degraded rubber seals. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and steering geometry, as the 2023 advisories regarding uneven tyre wear suggest the vehicle may have previously suffered from tracking misalignment. While the tyres were likely replaced to clear the test, ensure the current tread wear is even across the width of the front tyres to confirm the underlying alignment issue was rectified. Beyond this, check the condition of the headlamp units and electrical connectors, as the failure in February 2024 for a dipped beam fault points to a potential vulnerability in the lighting circuit. The overall lack of structural or corrosion-related advisories is encouraging, but a visual check of the sills and subframes remains standard practice for a vehicle of this vintage.
