2013 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · MM62 KHD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a concerning trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent test on 2 June 2026 at 110,548 miles, it failed just six miles prior due to critical safety and structural defects. This failure reveals a significant structural concern regarding the outer sill and a compromised offside seat belt anchorage. Although these items were rectified for the pass, the presence of structural corrosion or damage suggests the vehicle may have been neglected between previous inspections. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, with 4,260 miles covered between May 2024 and May 2025, and another 4,213 miles covered in the final year leading up to June 2026. This consistent interval suggests regular use, but the recurring failures for minor items like light bulbs and tyres indicate that the owners have frequently ignored basic maintenance requirements until they reached a legal failure threshold. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the underbody, specifically the outer sills and mounting points, to ensure the structural repairs made after the June 2026 failure are robust. The MOT record also flags pitted and scored rear brake discs, which indicates they are nearing the end of their effective life and require replacement to maintain braking performance. Furthermore, the repeated reports of tyres worn on the edges across the last two tests suggest a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that remain unaddressed, causing premature tyre wear.
