2015 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · RF64 EKV

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift towards mechanical wear after years of clean inspections. The most recent test in March 2026 at 90,968 miles identified specific hardware issues including pitted front brake discs and a severely deteriorated nearside front anti-roll bar ball joint cover. This marks a departure from the clean records seen in 2022 and 2023, suggesting that components are now reaching their natural service limits. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,270 miles per year. Between March 2024 and March 2026, the car covered 16,107 miles, indicating a steady rate of use. While the low mileage relative to the age suggests less overall strain on the drivetrain and engine, the presence of perishing and cracking on the tyres in both 2024 and 2025 indicates that the rubber components are suffering from age-related degradation rather than high-mileage-related tread wear. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the braking system and front suspension geometry. The 2026 advisory regarding pitting and scoring on both front brake discs suggests the surfaces are corroded, which will likely require replacement soon to ensure consistent stopping performance. Furthermore, the deteriorated anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover is a precursor to joint failure; if moisture enters the joint, the assembly will wear out rapidly. Given the history of perishing tyres, the sidewalls of all four tyres must be checked for deep cracking that indicates the rubber is brittle despite remaining tread depth.
