2014 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · PJ63 FUB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of deferred repairs regarding recurring mechanical components. While the most recent test on 15 December 2025 at 64,228 miles passed, it initially failed on a split offside front drive shaft boot, a worn nearside rear tyre, and worn front arm rear bushes. The fact that the owner only addressed these faults after a formal MOT failure suggests a reactive rather than proactive approach to maintaining the vehicle's suspension and drivetrain integrity. At 12 years old, the recorded mileage of 64,228 miles represents a low average of approximately 5,352 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 4,700 miles driven between the December 2024 and December 2025 tests. This low-mile usage typically reduces the wear on the engine and engine, but it often leads to the accelerated degradation of rubber components such as bushes and seals, which is consistent with the recurring suspension and steering issues noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension and steering assembly. The record shows persistent play in the steering rack inner joints from December 2023 through December 2024, alongside worn front arm rear bushes that appeared in all three recent tests. These recurring faults indicate that while components are being replaced, the underlying issues are not fully addressed. Furthermore, the offside front drive shaft should be inspected for any grease leakage or damage to the CV boot to ensure the repair made following the 2025 failure was effective.
