2019 Peugeot 308 1.5L Diesel · WV19 KCN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding brake components. While the car passed its February 2026 test at 54,466 miles, it had failed that same day due to excessively fluctuating front service brakes and pitted or scored discs on both front and rear axles. This indicates that the previous owner waited for a mechanical failure to address significant brake wear rather than performing preventative maintenance when the issues began to appear. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 13,541 miles between the October 2023 test and the September 2024 test, followed by another 12,087 miles covered by the February 2026 inspection. This acceleration in usage over the last two years correlates with the increased wear observed on the braking system and the advisories for front tyres, which were flagged as being near the legal limit in late 2024. A buyer must personally inspect the braking system to ensure the recent repairs following the February 2026 failure were executed correctly. The history of fluctuating brakes suggests warped rotors or worn pads, so a test drive should check for any pedal vibration or steering wheel shim under deceleration. Given the 2024 advisories regarding uneven tyre wear, the current set of tyres should also be examined for irregular patterns that might indicate alignment issues or worn suspension bushes are still causing premature degradation.
