2017 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · DK66 AAF

The 2017 Peugeot 308’s most recent MOT on 2025-04-01 at 129,095 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, the preceding test on 2025-03-31 at the same mileage failed without any defects noted, suggesting an anomaly or potential oversight in the testing process. The earlier 2024-04-03 test at 123,015 miles also passed with no issues, implying no significant mechanical degradation over the 6,080-mile period between that date and the 2025-04-01 pass. The absence of recorded defects in all tests does not confirm fault-free operation, as some issues may not trigger immediate failure. The vehicle’s mileage of 129,095 miles at 9 years old equates to an average of 14,344 miles annually, which is notably high for its age. The jump from 123,015 miles in April 2024 to 129,095 miles in March 2025 reflects rapid accumulation, increasing wear on consumables like tyres and brake components. This pattern may indicate frequent use or long-distance commuting, which could accelerate suspension bush wear, coil spring fatigue, or brake disc warping. The sparse MOT record lacks detailed defect data, making it difficult to assess long-term trends in critical systems. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as high mileage often exacerbates these issues. Brake components, including calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny for binding or uneven wear, which may not register as defects but can affect performance. Corrosion in the underbody or exhaust system should also be checked, as rapid mileage can expose hidden structural weaknesses. While the MOT history shows no immediate failures, the high annual mileage and recent failed test without explanation necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm mechanical integrity.
