2016 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · SW16 JTZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in February 2026 at 90,729 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows an improvement following a period of noted brake-related issues in mid-2025. While the previous test highlighted mechanical wear, the clean sheet from the latest inspection suggests the owner addressed the identified faults, bringing the vehicle back to a standard of condition. At 10 years old, the Peugeot 308 reflects an average of approximately 9,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with intervals of roughly 9,000 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and a 13,600-mile gap between 2025 and 2026. This regular use suggests consistent operation rather than long periods of stagnation, which is generally beneficial for keeping seals lubricated and tyres supple. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and front suspension components. The July 2025 test flagged fluctuating front brakes, thin nearside rear pads, and pitted front discs. Although these passed the subsequent test, a physical check should verify that the rotors are not warped and that the new pads have sufficient material. Additionally, the history shows previous play in the anti-roll bar linkage ball joints from 2022; the buyer should check for any clunking noises when over uneven surfaces to ensure these components have not developed new play. The 2023 advisory regarding a nearside rear tyre worn to the edge indicates a past alignment issue or neglected tyre maintenance. While the current record does not list tyre-related faults, checking the wear patterns across all four tyres and the condition of the rubber boots on the suspension arms is prudent to ensure no lingering geometry issues persist. The overall record indicates a vehicle that is responded to when faults are raised by the tester.
