2016 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · DK66 AEY

The 2016 Peugeot 308 presents a generally stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 2025-08-15 at 101,588 miles recording a pass and no defects. However, a prior failure on 2024-07-23 at 99,020 miles—despite no defects being listed—suggests potential technical issues that were not explicitly documented. The intervening MOT on 2024-08-16 at 99,105 miles passed without issues, indicating a possible resolution or incomplete reporting. The vehicle’s maintenance pattern shows consistent annual testing, but the lack of defect details in the failure entry limits definitive conclusions about underlying faults. The mileage of 101,588 miles aligns with an average of ~10,159 miles per year, reflecting typical usage for a 10-year-old vehicle. A minor anomaly appears between the 2024-08-16 test (99,105 miles) and the 2024-07-23 test (99,020 miles), where mileage decreased by 85 miles, potentially indicating an odometer discrepancy or data entry error. No significant gaps in testing are evident, and the absence of recurring defects in the pass records suggests routine maintenance was applied. However, the lack of detailed fault reporting in the 2024-07-23 failure prevents assessment of whether issues were resolved. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, which are common wear points on this model. The absence of brake-related defects in recent tests is reassuring, but a physical check of brake discs and calipers is advised to confirm no hidden corrosion or binding. Structural integrity should also be verified, as rust or corrosion in critical areas could affect long-term reliability. The vehicle’s roadworthiness appears acceptable at present, but the unresolved failure entry warrants further scrutiny by a qualified mechanic.
