2021 Peugeot 308 1.5L Diesel · PX71 AFJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in September 2024. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the only noted issue was a minor defect involving a damaged nearside rear reflector. This is a cosmetic safety failure that does not indicate underlying mechanical distress or structural neglect, suggesting that the vehicle has been maintained to a basic legal standard as of the last inspection. The mileage pattern indicates high-intensity use for a five-year-old vehicle, with 79,422 miles on the artwork. This represents an average of approximately 15,884 miles per year, which significantly exceeds the typical annual average for a petrol car of this age. While the test history itself is relatively clean of major mechanical failures, the rapid accumulation of mileage suggests the car has seen constant road exposure, placing higher stress on consumable components compared to lower-mileage examples. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of high-wear areas typically associated with high annual mileage. Specific attention should be paid to the suspension assembly, including bushes and shock absorbers, which may show signs of premature fatigue given the heavy usage profile. Additionally, the braking system—specifically pads and discs—should be checked for thickness and even wear, while the drivetrain and clutch should be monitored to ensure the high-mileage has not resulted in significant mechanical degradation.
