Would you buy this car?

[Ilovechocolate87]

Peugeot 308 gt line hatch- 16 plate 1.2 puretech petrol with 57k miles.
At a large local 3 branch car dealer (200 odd cars per site) so they don't really know alot about each car tbh.
Part service history with 4 stamps, but has missed 2 years, at least one of which was 20k miles gap between services.
Found a misfire on test drive and they are now rectifying that (we have currently paid a refundable £100 deposit)
DH is concerned that the cambelt probably hasn't been done (the car sales have no proof either way) and might be due at a considerable cost to us if we brought it.
I'm on the fence....its a beautiful looking car, ran fine and was great to drive other than the misfire, no other major red flags/warning lights/noises/smoke etc.....WWYD

YABU- Forget it, walk away and do not buy it due to these issues.
YANBU- Go ahead with the purchase- The cambelt needing doing and gaps in service don't need to be deal breakers.

Because I had one. And the engine failed at 52k miles.

Walk away. It may seem all singing all dancing then pickles

Good for you, that keeps the prices lower for those of us who know what we are talking about

But what do Peugeot require it to be serviced at?

Just googled. Looks like 12 months / 12k. So it should have had 7 services and us only 5k over in the one it missed. But 12 months and 12k. Fuck that.

Frankly, I wouldn't have a Peugeot at any price (unless the only alternative was a Citroen). Don't touch it OP.

Thanks all....i think everyone has their own opinions on different brands but thinking we will refuse it on the grounds of the cambelt and service gaps....shame as it was a beautiful car in many ways but just feels like too much of a risk mechanically, and would rather buy from a smaller and more reputable and responsible company I think.

Come back to us when you find the next potential! Hope you find the one for you!

I drive a Peugeot at the minute for work and it's ok. They are more reliable than they used to be... apparently. I have to give this one back at 10k and the joke is that (at 7k) it's the longest a Peugeot has gone without breaking but it's the luck of the draw plus good maintenance.
