2015 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · SH15 YVF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass on April 1, 2026, at 97,123 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a period of escalating mechanical wear requiring reactive repairs. A failure just one month prior on March 30, 2026, revealed critical issues including a worn nearside front track rod end, a split offside front drive shaft CV boot, and a failed indicator bulb. While these faults were rectified, the history suggests the suspension and drivetrain components are reaching the end of their service life. The mileage pattern is consistent with an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per year. There was a significant spike in usage between April 2024 (72,958 miles) and April 2025 (86,583 miles), covering over 13,000 miles in a single year. This accelerated use followed by another 10,500 miles leading to the most recent test explains the frequency of wear-related failures observed on rubber bushes and suspension linkages. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry and drivetrain integrity. The 2025 records highlighted multiple worn suspension arm bushes and anti-roll bar linkage dust covers, indicating a general degradation of rubber components across the front axle. Given the recent failure of the CV boot and track rod end, the buyer must check for grease leakage around drive joints and any play in the steering components. The exhaust leak noted in 2025 should also be re-verified to ensure the downpipe was properly sealed and has not developed further corrosion or heat erosion.
