2016 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · DK66 ADU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 10 March 2026 at 180,869 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the record shows a consistent pattern of passing tests without any recorded defects or advisories across the last three years. The failure on 9 March 2026 was resolved within twenty four hours, suggesting a minor administrative or quick fix rather than a significant mechanical failure. The mileage is high for a ten year old vehicle, averaging over 18,000 miles per year. A significant jump in usage occurred between 25 June 2024 and 12 June 2025, where the odometer rose from 163,932 to 180,108 miles. This indicates the car has spent much of its life on long distance commutes or motorway journeys, which typically puts less strain on the engine and clutch than frequent short city trips. Despite the clean MOT history, the high mileage necessitates a thorough physical inspection of high wear components. A buyer should specifically check the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these often degrade near the 180,000 mile mark regardless of test outcomes. Brake disc thickness and pad wear should be verified to ensure they are not nearing the end of their service life. Particular attention should be paid to the chassis and underbody for signs of corrosion, especially if the car has operated in coastal areas. While the DVSA records show no structural failures, the age and mileage make it prudent to inspect the exhaust system for leaks and the engine bay for oil seepage. The lack of recorded advisories is positive, but it does not replace the need for a manual check of the drivetrain and steering rack play.
