2010 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · BG10 AEN

The 2010 Peugeot 308 presents a stable roadworthiness status with no recorded defects across the five most recent MOT tests. The April 2026 test at 85,197 miles passed cleanly, continuing an unbroken pass sequence that shows no worsening or emerging fault trend. The vehicle's maintenance record reflects consistent statutory compliance with no advisories or failures logged since at least 2022. The mileage pattern confirms exceptionally low use for a sixteen-year-old vehicle. The record shows 81,835 miles in May 2022, rising to just 85,197 by April 2026, a total of 3,362 miles over four years or roughly 840 miles per year. The March 2024 test at 83,682 miles and the April 2025 test at 84,159 miles confirm a slow, steady accumulation with no gaps or sudden spikes. Such limited annual coverage suggests prolonged standing periods, though the clean test history gives no evidence of neglected statutory upkeep. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion, as low-mileage cars left idle often develop structural rust and perished rubber components undetected by annual MOT checks. The brake discs and calipers warrant physical measurement despite no binding or efficiency faults being flagged. Verify the condition of tyres and wiper blades, which the record does not show as renewed but fall outside MOT failure only when worn beyond limits. The absence of advisories across all five tests implies previous owners addressed wear before each examination rather than deferring consumable replacement. Given the Peugeot 308's known susceptibility to rear axle corrosion and front suspension drop links, a pre-purchase underside inspection remains prudent despite the clean documentary trail.
