2013 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · WV63 FSD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of deferred mechanical repairs. While the car passed its most recent test on June 2 2026 at 66,327 miles, this followed a significant failure just one day prior. The record shows a recurring failure to address developing suspension and braking issues, specifically regarding corrosion and wear, until they reached a point of failure. This suggests the previous owner only addressed faults when necessary to pass the MOT test rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 13 years old, the car has covered 66,327 miles, averaging approximately 5,100 miles per year. This low-mile profile often results in vehicles sitting for extended periods, which contributes to the degradation of rubber components and accelerated corrosion. Between June 2024 and June 2026, the vehicle covered only 7,609 miles, yet it suffered multiple failures involving wheel bearings, ball joints, and coil springs. The low mileage has not protected the vehicle from the physical effects of age and oxidation seen across the chassis. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear suspension and braking system. The tester consistently flagged corroded brake pipes and hoses covered in grease from June 2025 through June 2026, and the nearside front coil spring finally fractured in June 2026. The recurring mention of binding rear brakes in 2024 indicates that the calipers or slide pins may be seizing due to low use. Furthermore, the offside front drive shaft boot was split in June 2026, which requires a check for grease leakage and internal damage to the CV joint.
