2009 Peugeot 308 S HDI 1.6L Heavy oil · SD59 LPJ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection on November 6,2024 at 136,473 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend has shifted toward stability recently following a period of intermittent failures. While the car failed a test in October 2024 at 135,999 miles, the immediate pass two weeks later suggests that the owner addressed any identified faults promptly rather than allowing them to persist into the next cycle. At 136,473 miles over 17 years, the Peugeot averages approximately 8,000 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK usage for an older hatchback. The data shows a significant gap in records between April 2022 (97,974 miles) and May 2023 (112,785 miles), covering over 14,000 miles in a year. However, the mileage has accelerated recently, with nearly 24,000 miles clocked in the last eighteen months, indicating a current period of high-frequency use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking and suspension components, as the history shows a recurring pattern of neglecting basic consumables. The 2017 test flagged thin rear brake pads and tyres worn to the legal limit, while 2016 showed multiple tyres reaching wear indicators. Although the recent tests are clean, the age and mileage of the vehicle necessitate a thorough check for perished suspension bushes, coil spring fatigue, and corrosion on the brake calipers, which are common failure points on this model.
