2015 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · SH15 YVG

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward reactive rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 105,768 miles resulted in a pass, the tester flagged perishing and slight damage across all four tyres. This follows a clean record from 2024, suggesting that while mechanical components are currently functional, consumables are reaching the end of their service life due to age. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,600 miles per year. Between December 2021 and December 2025, the car covered 18,277 miles, representing a steady usage rate of roughly 4,500 miles annually during that period. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered long periods of standing which lead to accelerated internal corrosion, though the total six-figure mileage places the drivetrain and rubber components under age-related degradation regardless of the distance driven. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the suspension geometry and rubber bushings. The 2023 failure for a severely deteriorated offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover indicates that the rubber components are prone to environmental wear. Given the 2025 advisory regarding perishing tyres, it is vital to check for sidewall cracking in the sidewalls of all tyres, as this indicates structural failure of the rubber compound that tread depth alone cannot reveal. Inspect the brake system for uneven wear or binding calipers, as the 2021 record of front tyres worn on the edge suggests potential alignment issues or sticking components in the past.
