2013 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · CV13 ABX

The 2013 Peugeot 308 presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 2026-03-04 at 108,490 miles recording a pass and no defects. Subsequent tests from 2025-03-03 (100,449 miles) and 2024-03-27 (93,221 miles) also passed, while a prior failure on 2024-03-25 (93,188 miles) noted no defects. This pattern suggests consistent maintenance, though the unexplained failure without recorded issues warrants scrutiny. The vehicle’s age and mileage align with typical usage, and the absence of critical failures in recent tests indicates no immediate mechanical risks. Mileage progression shows regular annual testing, with the car accumulating approximately 8,345 miles yearly—a standard rate for its 13-year lifespan. The 2024-03-25 failure occurred just two days before a subsequent pass at 93,221 miles, raising questions about data accuracy or minor transient issues. No significant gaps or spikes in mileage are evident, and the consistent testing frequency supports a reliable maintenance record. However, the lack of defect details in the failed test limits insight into potential underlying concerns. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension, brakes, and exhaust system, as these components often degrade over time in older vehicles. The absence of corrosion reports in MOT records is positive, but a thorough underbody check for rust is advisable. Brake discs, calipers, and suspension bushes should be examined for wear, given the car’s age. While the MOT history shows no major faults, the unexplained failure and lack of detailed defect notes suggest a need for a pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity.
