2014 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · RV64 LHW

The vehicle currently presents a poor roadworthiness state with a clear worsening trend in mechanical neglect. The most recent test on 19 May 2026 at 178,723 miles resulted in a significant failure involving everything from structural damage to multiple mechanical defects. While the car managed a clean certificate in April 2024, the subsequent years show a failure to address preventative maintenance. The recurring nature of suspension and brake component failures suggests that the vehicle is only being repaired after a failure occurs rather than through scheduled servicing. The mileage profile reflects high usage for its age, having covered 178,723 miles over 12 years. This averages to approximately 14,900 miles per year. The data shows a significant acceleration in use recently, with the vehicle covering 40,486 miles between March 2024 and May 2026. This rapid accumulation places extreme strain on the drivetrain and suspension components, which is evidenced by the frequent degradation of suspension arm bushes and anti-roll bar joints over over short 24-month window. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the structural integrity, as the 2026 test flagged damage to both the nearside and offside front sills. These areas are prone to corrosion and impact damage which can compromise the entire chassis. The record also highlights a persistent issue with the front suspension, specifically excessively worn arm pin bushes and track rod ends appearing across three different test years. The presence of an oil leak in the latest report further indicates that the engine is reaching a stage of high-mile wear consistent with its odometer.
