2018 Peugeot 308 1.2L Petrol · RF18 AEO

The September 2025 test at 41,230 miles returned a pass with an advisory for front brake pads wearing thin on both sides. This single advisory against a clean 2024 test at 34,336 miles indicates a stable maintenance trend; the only recurring theme across the history is tyre and brake wear consistent with a vehicle approaching 40,000 miles. Mileage accumulation averages roughly 5,150 miles per year, low for an eight-year-old hatchback. The jump from 8,173 miles in May 2021 to 17,498 miles in May 2022 shows regular use, yet the seventeen-month gap between the April 2023 test at 26,464 miles and the September 2024 test at 34,336 miles suggests a period of reduced activity or a missed annual check. Annual mileage has tapered from nearly 9,000 miles in the early years to under 7,000 miles recently. A buyer should inspect the rear suspension geometry and tyre wear patterns closely. The 2022 advisory flagged both rear tyres worn to the legal limit on the edges, a pattern that often points to incorrect toe settings or worn rear beam bushes rather than simple neglect. Front brake discs and pads need measurement; the 2025 advisory confirms the pads are nearing minimum thickness, so discs should be checked for lip formation or scoring. No structural corrosion advisories appear in the record, but the low mileage means the underbody deserves a thorough probe for surface rust that long periods of standing can accelerate. Overall the record presents a car that has been maintained to a basic legal standard without evidence of major mechanical failure. The front brake advisory is the only live item; addressing that and verifying rear alignment will likely secure another clean test.
