2016 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · WD16 HVB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift from proactive upkeep to reactive repairs. While the car achieved clean passes between 2021 and mid-2024, the most recent test on 11 July 2025 at 87,785 miles introduced several advisories that indicate neglect. The presence of a nearside front anti-roll bar linkage defect and tyres reaching the legal limit suggests that routine preventative inspections and consumable replacements are being overlooked. At 87,785 miles over ten years, the Peugeot averages approximately 8,800 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical light-duty usage. There is a notable gap in the records between December 2021 and August 2023, where the vehicle covered roughly 10,000 miles. Since then, the mileage accumulation has remained steady, with about 5,100 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This consistent usage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme long-distance motorway stress. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension closely, as the slight play in the drop link noted in 2025 often precedes more significant failure of bushings or ball joints. The uneven wear reported on the nearside rear and offside front tyres indicates a potential alignment issue or worn suspension components that will continue to accelerate tyre degradation. Furthermore, the report of low engine oil during the 2025 test warrants a thorough check for oil consumption or external leaks to ensure the powerplant remains healthy.
