2009 Peugeot 308 2.0L Diesel · WL59 LDO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of neglected braking and tyre components. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 100,956 miles passed, the tester still flagged binding on both front and rear brakes and pitted front inner discs. This follows a pattern of significant failure in late 2024 where multiple brakes were excessively binding and pads were worn dangerously thin, suggesting that the owner only addresses faults when testing fails rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 100,956 miles, this 2009 vehicle has covered relatively low mileage, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. The data shows a notable spike in usage during early 2024, where the car covered nearly 7,000 miles between January and December. The low annual mileage often correlates with age-related issues, such as the surface corrosion and pitting on brake discs recorded across multiple years, and the potential for rubber components to perish, as evidenced by all four tyres being found near the legal limit during the December 2024 test. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system, as the recurring reports of binding calipers and scored discs indicate either seized pistons or poor hydraulic condition. The supplementary restraint system warning lamp failing to illuminate in two tests during 2024 is a critical safety concern that requires a diagnostic fault code check to ensure the airbag system is actually functional. Additionally, the emissions failure in January 2024 suggests the engine management or air-fuel mixture should be verified to ensure the vehicle is operating efficiently despite its low mileage.
