2011 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · WP11 OVB

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthiness rating of 100% , but the MOT history indicates a stable and improving trend rather than a permanent failure, given that the most recent test (2026-04-07) at 68,455 miles was a failure. The tester flagged binding rear brakes, which suggests a likely worsening trend in brake condition, particularly concerning whether the issue has resolved or if the vehicle is approaching a safety advisory. The vehicle has been tested twice in the past (2025-04-03 and 2024-04-03), both at 61,559 miles, with no recorded defects, indicating that while the brakes have not failed, the wear rate may be accelerating over time. The vehicle was tested in September 2023 at 47,095 miles, which is significantly lower than the current mileage, suggesting a rapid mileage accumulation that may have been caused by the owner's lack of regular maintenance or the vehicle's age (15 years old). The 15-year age of the 2011 PEUGEOT 308, combined with 4,564 miles per year, places the vehicle in a category of low mileage, which can sometimes indicate lighter use or long standing. However, the presence of two binding brake failures and the lack of a 2025 pass at 61,559 miles suggests that the mechanical integrity of the drivetrain has not been maintained for several years. While the suspension and drivetrain components are not flagged as failing, the history of binding brakes and the rapid mileage gap imply that basic upkeep has been skipped or that the vehicle has been driven less frequently than expected over the last 15 years. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person for the binding brakes, which are the primary concern given the two failed tests at 61,559 miles. The tester flagged binding rear brakes, indicating that the brake pads and rotors may be worn down or the calipers may be binding, which is a serious structural issue. Given the vehicle's age and the lack of a 2025 pass, the buyer must verify whether the binding condition has improved since the 2025 test. Additionally, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is required, as the vehicle has been tested twice in the past at 61,559 miles with no defects, suggesting that the suspension system has not been inspected for wear or damage. The 15-year age and 4,564 miles per year mileage also warrant a check for structural integrity, as the vehicle may have been driven less frequently than expected over the last decade.
