2012 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · DC05 BEV

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass on 11 September 2025 at 80,344 miles. While the record shows a failure on 10 September 2025, the lack of recorded defects suggests this was likely an administrative error or a minor issue rectified immediately before the subsequent pass. This pattern of immediate resolution indicates a vehicle that is currently being kept in a roadworthy condition, with no persistent mechanical failures or recurring advisories noted over the past three years. The recorded mileage of 80,344 miles over a 14-year lifespan averages approximately 5,739 miles per annum, which is notably low for a vehicle of this age. The progression remains consistent, with an increase of roughly 5,100 miles between September 2023 and September 2024, followed by a slightly higher usage of 8,284 miles leading into the most recent test. This steady accumulation suggests the Peugeot has been used regularly rather than left standing for extended periods, which generally reduces the risk of long-term storage issues such as seized calipers or fuel system degradation. Despite the clean MOT history, the lack of recorded advisories does not preclude the presence of hidden mechanical wear typical for a 2012 model. A prospective buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components often show signs of fatigue at this age even if they pass a basic MOT check. You should also verify the condition of the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure the timing belt replacement interval has been respected, as this is a critical maintenance item not captured by the MOT testing process.
