2021 Peugeot 308 1.5L Diesel · OU70 CZP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of deferred mechanical repairs. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 86,492 miles passed, it carried recurring advisories for worn front lower suspension arm bushes on both nearside and offside sides. This specific issue has appeared in four consecutive tests since February 2024, indicating that the owner has allowed component wear to persist without replacing the parts until they reached a critical threshold. The Peugeot shows a high mileage profile relative to its five-year age, averaging approximately 17,300 miles per year. Between January 2024 and March 2026, the vehicle covered 19,550 miles in just over two years, suggesting heavy motorway use or high-frequency commercial application. This high rate of wear-and-tear typically accelerates the degradation of consumables, as evidenced by the failure in January 2024 for significantly worn brake discs and pads reaching the legal limit of thickness. A physical inspection must focus on the front suspension geometry and structural integrity. The ongoing wear on the lower suspension arm bushes suggests the rubber is likely perished or severely torn, which will affect steering precision and cause uneven tyre wear. The buyer should also examine the damage to the offside outer sill which has been noted since February 2025. It is vital to determine if this damage is merely cosmetic or if it has led to structural corrosion that could compromise the sills of the vehicle. Additionally, the headlamp assemblies should be checked for secure mounting and correct alignment following the failures in early 2024 and 2025.
