2016 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · RK61 BER

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test on July 7, 2026 at 79,263 miles flagged multiple advisories regarding thin front brake pads and three tyres worn to the legal limit. This indicates that while the car passes its annual inspections, the owner tends to address consumable components only when they reach a failure or advisory threshold, rather than replacing them during scheduled intervals. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical low-mileage for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per annum. There is a notable usage gap between November 2018 and November 2020, where the car covered only 16,000 miles in two years. Since 2020, the usage has stabilised, moving steadily between 6,000 and 7,000 miles per year. This consistent mileage suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, though the age does lead to the degradation of rubber-based components as seen in the record. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and alignment, as the record shows recurring inner edge wear on tyres in 2021, 2024, and 2026. This pattern suggests a persistent geometry issue or worn suspension bushes that will continue to prematurely exhaust new tyres. The offside front drive shaft boot which failed in 2025 should be visually inspected for grease leakage to ensure the replacement was effective and has not led to joint failure. Given the recent advisories on brakes and multiple tyres, an immediate overhaul of these friction components is required to bring the car to an optimal standard.
