2021 Peugeot 308 Allure Digital Bluehdi S/S 1.5L Diesel · SA21 XDN

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status based on its most recent inspection, though the record indicates a specific concern regarding braking components. The MOT conducted on 19 March 2024 at 15,290 miles passed despite the tester flagging rear brake discs as pitted and scored across the inner and partially outer surfaces. While this did not result in a failure, it suggests the vehicle has experienced surface corrosion due to infrequent use. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,058 miles per year. This low usage frequency combined with the 15,290 miles recorded during the 2024 test suggests long periods of standing. While low mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension, it frequently leads to the type of surface oxidation observed on the brake discs, as moisture tends to settle on the metal when the car is not regularly driven. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the rear braking assembly to ensure that the pitting has not progressed into structural thinning or excessive scoring that affects friction surface. Given the low mileage, it is also necessary to check the tyres for flat spots or sidewall cracking, which often occur in vehicles that sit for extended. The tester noted the discs were not seriously weakened, but verifying the condition of the brake pads and caliper pistons will ensure they have not seized from inactivity.
