2011 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · R10 BAK

The vehicle is roadworthy but carries a concerning maintenance trend. The most recent test on 10 October 2025 passed, yet it recorded a front tyre worn close to the legal limit and on its edge, a pattern that has recurred in both 2019 and 2025. The 2025 failure was not a one-off; it follows a 2023 failure with the same front coil spring fracture and suspension arm wear, indicating that the front suspension and tyre wear are likely to continue deteriorating if not addressed. The mileage of 113,576 miles over 15 years is roughly 7,572 miles per year, which is within the typical range for a vehicle of this age. The record is sparse, with only two failures in 2023 and 2018, and the 2025 test passed with a single tyre fault. The gaps between failures are not particularly short, but the 2018 and 2023 failures both involved the same front coil spring, suggesting a recurring component issue rather than a one-off accident damage. A buyer should inspect the front suspension arms, coil springs, and rear brake discs in person, as these components have been flagged in multiple tests. The 2018 failure noted a nearside rear brake disc seriously weakened and rear brake pads less than 1.5mm thick, while the 2025 test flagged a front tyre worn close to the limit. The front CV boots weeping grease from the outer clips in 2021 also indicate a potential for grease leakage and dust ingress, which could accelerate wear on the steering linkage and suspension components.
