2018 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · DX67 BKG

This 2018 Peugeot 308 currently holds a valid MOT certificate from November 10, 2025, at 153,486 miles, showing a stable maintenance trajectory following minor rectification work. The sole advisory noted a failed nearside rear registration plate lamp, which is a straightforward electrical consumable that presents no structural risk. Previous test failures centred on mechanical wear rather than chronic neglect, indicating that prior keepers addressed issues promptly when caught by test stations. Mileage accumulation is exceptionally high for the vehicle age at roughly 19,186 miles per year, reflecting heavy fleet or motorway deployment. The odometer jumped from 93,048 miles in November 2024 to 153,486 miles by November 2025, representing an aggressive accumulation of over 60,000 miles in a single twelve-month period. This rapid increase subjects the drivetrain, steering components, and wheel bearings to intense operational stress that exceeds standard private usage parameters. The November 2024 testing cycle caught a fractured offside front coil spring alongside a failing front windscreen wiper blade, which resulted in an initial refusal before passing on the same day once rectified. High-mileage suspension components on this chassis endure significant fatigue, meaning prospective buyers must physically inspect the front MacPherson struts, wishbone bushes, and drop links for premature wear or knocking noises. Given the intensive mileage accrued over the past year, physical inspection should also prioritise the condition of the brake discs and pads, clutch actuation, and high-pressure fuel or emission control systems. While the current MOT status is clean, the sheer velocity of the mileage means consumable lifespan will be heavily depleted, requiring a thorough mechanical inspection before purchase.
