2015 Peugeot 308 1.2L Petrol · SH15 YVL

The 2015 Peugeot 308 presents a generally stable maintenance profile, passing its most recent MOT on 6 October 2025 at 85,356 miles with only a minor advisory for front tyre wear. The trend over the last three years is broadly improving. A fractured nearside front coil spring caused a failure in November 2023 at 74,838 miles, but the subsequent retest twelve days later and the clean passes in 2024 and 2025 confirm that the suspension repair was carried out and has not recurred. No corrosion, structural defects, or braking failures have been recorded in the most recent two tests, which is a positive sign for a vehicle of this age. The mileage accumulation is consistent and unremarkable. The car has covered roughly 7,760 miles per year, which is typical for a family hatchback. The recorded mileages show a steady progression from 68,407 miles in October 2022 to 85,356 miles in October 2025, with no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps that would suggest long periods of disuse or clocking. The 2025 test was conducted just over eight months ago, so the current mileage is unlikely to have deviated significantly from the last recorded figure. A prospective buyer should still inspect the front suspension carefully. The fractured coil spring in 2023 was a serious failure, and while it has been replaced, the condition of the matching offside spring and the front dampers should be checked for leaks or uneven wear. The 2022 test flagged worn rear brake discs and a nail in the offside rear tyre, indicating the braking system has needed attention in the past. Although the recent tests are clean, a test drive should verify that the handbrake holds firmly and the pedal feels firm without pulsation. The advisory on front tyre wear in 2025 suggests the tracking or damping may need checking if the wear is uneven. Underneath, inspect the subframe and suspension mounting points for corrosion, as these are common failure points on older 308s. The exhaust and DPF should also be examined for leaks or excessive smoke under load, given the minor oil leak noted in 2022.
