2015 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · RF64 AAZ

High annual mileage and a history of tyre-related advisories define the mechanical profile of this Peugeot 308, though the recent testing trend shows a period of clean passes. While the 2025-04-16 test resulted in no recorded defects, the vehicle's history includes several advisories regarding tyre wear, specifically noted in 2021 and 2018. This suggests that while the vehicle has maintained its roadworthiness through recent inspections, there have been instances where consumable components reached the limits of legal compliance. The vehicle has covered 136,984 miles over its eleven-year lifespan, averaging approximately 12,453 miles per year. This represents a higher-than-average usage pattern for a vehicle of this age, which typically correlates with increased mechanical wear on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems. The consistent annual mileage suggests regular, long-distance road use rather than infrequent short trips or extended periods of being stationary, which places a predictable but significant load on the vehicle's moving parts. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the suspension and steering geometry during a test drive, given the previous advisories for uneven tyre wear, such as the nearside front tyre being worn on the edge in 2021. Listen for any knocking or clunking sounds when traversing uneven surfaces or speed bumps, which could indicate worn suspension linkages or bushes. Additionally, check for any steering pull to one side or vibrations through the steering wheel, as these can be symptoms of the alignment issues that lead to the edge-wear noted in the historical records. A thorough inspection of the tyre tread depth and overall condition is necessary to ensure no current issues persist from previous advisory periods. Beyond the tyres, the high mileage warrants a close examination of the braking system for any signs of binding calipers or uneven disc wear, as well as an inspection of the underside for any signs of fluid leaks or excessive corrosion on the subframe and exhaust components. Pay attention to the pedal feel for any sponginess or judder, which would indicate wear in the braking hardware consistent with high-mileage usage.
