2011 Peugeot 308 1.6L Petrol · SD11 MYO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to mechanical repairs. The most recent test in October 2025 at 94,630 miles resulted in a pass following a failure for split front drive shaft boots and corroded rear brake hoses. While these specific issues were addressed, the recurring nature of mechanical failures across the last three years suggests that components are only being replaced once they reach the point of failing an MOT test. At 94,630 miles, this 15-year-old Peugeot averages approximately 6,300 miles per year, which is consistent with low- to moderate usage for a vehicle of this age. The mileage accumulation shows steady progression, with roughly 8,000 miles driven between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 8,000 miles between October 2024 and 2025. This consistency suggests the car is used regularly, which helps prevent rubber components and suspension elements from age-related degradation despite the low mileage. A buyer must perform a close inspection of the front suspension to ensure the recently replaced drive shaft boots are properly fitted, as this was a recurring failure in both 2024 and 2025. The offside rear shock absorber was noted for a serious fluid leak in 2024, so the buyer should check for signs of continued weeping or uneven bouncing on that corner. Additionally, given the history of thin front brake pads in 2024 and corroded rear brake hoses in 2025, a thorough check of the braking system and the condition of all flexible lines is essential to ensure no immediate future failures are imminent.
