2018 Peugeot 308 1.2L Petrol · NA68 AAV

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2025-12-19 at 49,821 miles, with a single advisory for a rear brake disc worn, pitted, or scored but not critically weakened. This follows a consistent pattern of passing tests over the past five years, with the exception of a failure in 2023-01-09 at 34,299 miles due to thin front brake pads and a faulty windscreen washer. The maintenance trend appears stable, as no major structural or mechanical defects have emerged in recent years, and recurring issues like brake wear align with the vehicle’s age and mileage. The mileage progression shows gradual accumulation, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. From 2021-10-02 (25,235 miles) to 2025-12-19 (49,821 miles), the vehicle gained approximately 24,586 miles over 4.3 years, averaging ~5,700 miles annually. This aligns with the expected usage for an 8-year-old car, suggesting regular driving without excessive strain on components. The consistency in mileage between tests indicates no significant gaps in operation, reducing concerns about neglected maintenance during idle periods. Recurring brake-related advisories, such as worn discs and pads, highlight the need for closer inspection of the braking system. The 2023 failure due to thin front pads and the 2025 advisory on the rear disc suggest that brake components may be nearing the end of their service life. A buyer should check for uneven pad wear, disc thickness, and signs of corrosion in the calipers or suspension bushes, as these could indicate deferred maintenance. Additionally, the 2021 rear tyre wear advisory underscores the importance of verifying tread depth and alignment to prevent premature wear. The vehicle’s history shows no evidence of structural rust, exhaust leaks, or suspension failures, which is positive for a car of this age. However, the repeated brake issues warrant a thorough check of the entire braking system, including disc thickness, pad condition, and hydraulic performance. Buyers should also inspect the windscreen washer system and tyre tread uniformity, as these were flagged in prior tests. While the maintenance record is largely stable, prioritizing brake and suspension evaluations will ensure no hidden risks are overlooked.
