2014 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · RV64 LHM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive repairs. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 123,291 miles passed, the record flagged thinning rear brake pads and persistent structural deformation. This follows a failure just one year prior in 2024 due to a leaking offside front brake pipe. Although the immediate hydraulic fault was rectified, the recurring appearance of wear items suggests that components are only addressed once they reach failure limits. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,200 miles per year. There is a notable gap in the data between December 2021 at 111,118 miles and January 2023 at 118,010 miles, representing a period of lower usage or delayed testing. However, the vehicle has since covered over 12,000 miles in the last eighteen months, which accounts for the accelerated wear on consumables like the rear brake pads and therelated wear observed on the braking system. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the offside integral body structure. The tester noted deformation in the sill during both the 2024 and 2025 tests, and while rigidity was not deemed compromised, such areas are prone to hidden corrosion or signs of previous impact-related stress. The headlamp lenses also require monitoring for degradation, as the product on the lenses was flagged in two consecutive years, which may eventually impair light output if not polished or replaced. Finally, the braking system should be thoroughly checked to ensure the previous leak from 2024 was fully resolved and that the thinning rear pads have not caused uneven wear to the calipers.
