2010 Peugeot 308 1.6L Petrol · AO60 AAU

The most recent MOT on 9 March 2026 recorded a pass at 81,815 miles, indicating the vehicle meets the statutory roadworthiness criteria at this date. The earlier fail on the same day, logged at 81,813 miles, listed no defects, suggesting a clerical issue rather than a mechanical shortfall. Across the five tests, no faults or advisories appear, demonstrating a stable maintenance pattern with no emerging deterioration. At 81,815 miles the 2010 Peugeot 308 averages roughly 5,100 miles per year, well below the typical usage for a vehicle of its age. The mileage progression—64,231 miles in August 2023, 66,885 miles in July 2024, 68,256 miles in March 2025, and 81,815 miles in March 2026—shows a steady, modest increase, with no abrupt spikes that would signal periods of intensive use or neglect. The record therefore suggests consistent, low‑intensity operation rather than prolonged storage. Although the MOT history reveals no recorded defects, a prospective buyer should still examine consumable wear items that are not captured by the test. Inspect tyre tread depth and sidewall condition for uneven wear, verify brake disc surface and pad thickness for glazing or excessive wear, and feel for any play in the front suspension bushes or coil springs that could indicate latent degradation. A visual survey for surface rust on wheel arches, under‑carriage panels, and structural joints will confirm the absence of corrosion that might have escaped the MOT advisory list. Finally, a brief road‑test will reveal any binding calipers, abnormal steering feedback, or unusual noises from the drivetrain. Confirm that all lights, indicators, and exhaust emissions function within normal parameters. These checks will complement the clean MOT record and give a comprehensive picture of the car’s current condition.
