2013 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · MX63 CHV

The vehicle currently stands in the category of roadworthiness, failing the MOT test for the first time since its 2026-03-04 test, which was conducted at 165,804 miles. The most recent failure on 2025-03-05 indicates a significant deterioration in the drivetrain and suspension, specifically involving a fractured front coil spring and a defective passenger-side wiper blade, suggesting that the previous owner had a history of neglecting routine checks. The maintenance trend is clearly unstable and worsening, with the test at 155,654 miles in the spring of 2025 failing for the first time, a gap that is not explained by normal wear patterns. The mileage accumulation over approximately 12,754 miles per year is exceptionally high for a 2013 model, indicating rapid wear on consumables and components that are typically consumed over time. The rapid mileage rate is compounded by two distinct test failures in the spring of 2025 and a failure in February 2024, creating a pattern of rapid wear that outpaces any reasonable maintenance schedule. This high mileage is not merely a result of increased driving but also reflects a lack of periodic servicing, as the vehicle has not been serviced in over a year since the last MOT. A buyer must inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical wear, particularly focusing on the failed front coil spring and the worn inner tire on the rear. The fractured spring and the worn inner tire indicate that the vehicle is in a state of structural degradation, with the front suspension likely compromised and the rear tire tread potentially insufficient. Given the recurring faults and the rapid mileage accumulation, the vehicle requires immediate professional assessment for a potential suspension rebuild or brake overhaul to prevent further damage.
