2016 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · DK65 AFO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 26 April 2025 at 149,137 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car consistently achieves a pass following initial failures. While the record shows a pattern of failing and then passing, the lack of recorded advisories on the passing certificates suggests that the previous owner addressed and rectified any defects identified by the tester prior to the re-test. At 149,137 miles over ten years, this Peugeot has covered an average of 14,900 miles annually, which is significantly higher than the national average for a passenger car. The interval between the March 2024 test and April 2025 test shows an accumulation of 25,348 miles in just 13 months. This high mileage indicates consistent motorway use, which typically places less strain on clutch and suspension components compared to city driving, yet it accelerates the wear on the drivetrain and exhaust system. The clean history suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of neglect. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components common to high mileage vehicles. Given the distance covered, the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers require close scrutiny for signs of perished rubber or leakage. The braking system should be checked for thin discs and worn pads, as the MOT record does not detail specific mechanical issues. Because the MOT history shows no structural advisories, the integrity of the chassis appears sound, but it remains vital to ensure that the high mileage has not led to hidden corrosion in the underbody.
