2016 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · YN65 AOO

This 2016 Peugeot 308 holds a current and valid MOT certificate issued on June 9, 2026, at 92,509 miles, indicating adequate ongoing roadworthiness. The vehicle maintenance trend shows recurring neglect regarding consumable items rather than systemic mechanical failure. The recent test included advisories for thin rear brake pads and a minor front oil leak, alongside a damaged windscreen. These items follow previous failures driven by severely worn tyres and broken suspension components, pointing to a reactive maintenance style where previous owners replaced parts only when forced by test failures. The vehicle has accumulated 92,509 miles over roughly ten years, averaging approximately 9,250 miles annually. This mileage accumulation is entirely typical for a modern diesel or petrol family hatchback of this age. The testing cadence remains consistent, occurring annually every June without extended gaps or periods of statutory off-road laying up. The distance covered between tests scales predictably, moving from roughly 10,400 miles between 2021 and 2022 up to nearly 14,000 miles between June 2024 and June 2025. A physical inspection must prioritize the braking system and suspension components due to clear patterns in the historical record. The tester flagged thin brake pads in 2023 and again in 2026, while pitted front brake discs appeared in 2022. The buyer should check the remaining thickness of both discs and pads across all four corners. Furthermore, the front axle requires scrutiny regarding suspension health following an off-side coil spring fracture and a nearside binding service brake recorded during the June 2025 failure. Finally, checking the extent of the front oil leak and assessing the nearside outer sill damage noted in the 2021 records will ensure no hidden structural or mechanical liabilities remain.
