2015 Peugeot 308 2.0L Diesel · THM 1

A persistent pattern of front-end consumable wear defines the mechanical history of this vehicle, characterized by recurring tyre and brake advisories and a dangerous failure in October 2023 due to exposed ply on the offside front tyre. While the vehicle passed its most recent inspection on 4 October 2025, the record shows a continuing trend of inner edge wear on both front tyres, suggesting a potential ongoing alignment issue. The recorded mileage of 59,772 miles is low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,434 miles per year. This usage profile suggests the car has been used for short-distance commuting or has experienced periods of inactivity. Mechanically, such low annual accumulation often reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain but can contribute to the degradation of rubber components and the pitting of brake discs, as evidenced by the 2024 advisories regarding scored and pitted front discs. Prospective buyers should prioritize a detailed inspection of the front axle geometry and suspension. The repeated flagging of inner edge tyre wear across multiple years, combined with the 2022 advisory for worn front suspension arm pins and bushes, indicates a likely need for a four-wheel alignment and potential replacement of suspension linkages. During a test drive, listen for knocks or clunks when traversing uneven surfaces and feel for any steering drift or instability that would confirm worn bushings or incorrect toe-in settings. The braking system requires close scrutiny given the 2021 and 2024 advisories for thin pads and pitted discs. Check for pedal judder during deceleration, which would indicate warped or heavily scored discs. Additionally, while a deteriorated nearside front outer drive shaft CV boot was noted in 2019, verify that this has been replaced; a failed boot allows grease to escape and contaminants to enter, which typically manifests as a rhythmic clicking sound during tight, low-speed turns.
