Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to exceptionall
The primary focus for a buyer should be the service history. Given the extreme mileage, it is essential to verify that oil changes and major intervals have been adhered to strictly. Check specifically for records of timing belt or water pump replacements, as these are critical components that may require attention given the distance covered.
Negotiate the purchase price heavily based on the mileage, as this vehicle has covered significantly more distance than typical 2021 examples. Ensure any remaining manufacturer warranties are clarified, though they have likely expired due to the mileage limit.
The 1.5L diesel engine is designed for efficiency over long distances, which suits the profile of this vehicle. It is Euro 6 AP compliant, ensuring it meets current UK emissions standards and avoids most city-centre charges.
However, maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average. With 141,128 miles on the clock, the vehicle is entering a phase where more expensive wear-and-tear components will require replacement. Budget for higher annual maintenance to keep the vehicle roadworthy.
Pay close attention to the nearside front suspension arm and bushes, as the June 2026 MOT recorded these as worn. You should also inspect the nearside windscreen for the damage noted in the same report to determine if a replacement is necessary.
Referencing aggregate data for the Peugeot 308, check the condition of the headlamps and the exhaust system, as these are common failure points for this model. Finally, inspect all four tyres for wear, as tyres are another frequent MOT failure reason for this vehicle range.
This white 2021 Peugeot 308 1.5L Diesel has covered 141,128 miles, which is far above the model average of 7,264 miles per year. The MOT history shows three passes, with the most recent test in June 2026 highlighting suspension wear and windscreen damage. It is a Euro 6 AP compliant vehicle that has seen heavy use since its first registration in September 2021.
The Peugeot 308 has an average MOT pass rate of 76.6%, with the most common failures relating to headlamps, tyres, and exhausts.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2021 model year cars.
- 1.2 PureTech "Wet Belt" DegradationSerious
The 1.2 PureTech three-cylinder petrol engine utilises a wet timing belt operating submerged in engine oil. Fuel contamination and thermal stress cause belt rubber to degrade, shedding fibrous particles into the engine sump. These particles block the oil pump strainer, causing severe oil starvation, vacuum pump failure, and loss of assisted braking (UK recall R/2020/331), with catastrophic engine failure if unaddressed.
- AdBlue / BlueHDi Emissions FailureSerious
BlueHDi diesel engines (1.6 and 1.5 variants) utilize an integrated AdBlue tank assembly housing the urea delivery pump, heater, and level sensor. Urea crystallisation and circuit board failure cause delivery failure, illuminating the UREA warning lamp and initiating a non-restart countdown (commencing at 700 miles). Because the tank is a factory-sealed unit, replacement of the complete tank is required.
- 1.5 BlueHDi Camshaft Timing Chain SnappingSerious
The 1.5-litre BlueHDi (DV5R) 16-valve engine introduced in late 2017 uses a 7mm chain connecting the twin overhead camshafts. The chain is prone to excessive wear and stretching, producing metallic rattle before snapping suddenly. Chain failure bends valves, cracks camshaft carriers, and destroys the cylinder head. Stellantis introduced an 8mm upgraded chain kit and revised cylinder head housing to resolve the defect.
