2014 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · NK64 KXH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive prevention. The most recent MOT test in October 2025 at 166,116 miles passed after a minor failure involving a lighting issue, a discoloured side repeater, and a damaged tyre. While the immediate safety defects were rectified, the trend of recurring failures suggests that components are often only addressed once they reach the point of legal non-compliance. At 166,616 miles over twelve years, this Peugeot 308 has a high-usage profile, averaging approximately 13,885 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual use, with roughly 8,200 miles covered between October 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 8,300 miles recorded by October 2025. This high-frequency usage places significant stress on the drivetrain and suspension components, which is reflected in the frequent reports of worn brakes and suspension hardware across the record. A buyer must pay close attention to the front suspension and braking system. The 2024 test at 158,260 miles flagged worn suspension arm bushes and pitted brake discs on the front, while the 2023 failure at 148,065 miles highlighted a fractured offside rear coil spring and thin rear brake pads. Given the recurring nature of these issues, a physical inspection is required to check for play in the steering geometry and signs of premature wear on the shock absorbers. The history of pitted brake discs indicates that the owners may be waiting too long before replacing components, which can accelerate wear on calipers and seals.
