Expert AI · Mechanic's Insight
The Peugeot 308 passed its most recent MOT on 22 May 2025 at 120,441 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the supplied history is stable with no recurring advisories or mechanical faults. The vehicle shows a clean test profile across its later life, though two earlier failures on 18 May 2023 at 99,029 miles and 12 June 2024 at 110,262 miles were logged with no defects cited, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than grounded mechanical concerns. Recorded mileage rose from 99,035 at the May 2023 pass to 110,262 by June 2024, then to 120,441 by May 2025. That equates to roughly 10,200 miles per year between 2023 and 2025, consistent with the long-term average of 12,044 miles per annum for a ten-year-old car. The odometer figures show no standing periods or abrupt accumulation spikes; the sparse record with only five entries means we cannot observe intermediate wear cycles, but the absence of flagged consumable items like tyres, wiper blades, or brake discs suggests the prior owners kept basic upkeep current. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers given the high total mileage, as these components accrue fatigue absent any MOT advisory. The DVSA data shows no corrosion, structural integrity failures, or exhaust emission breaches across the timeline. The twin failure entries with zero defects imply the vehicle was presented correctly on the subsequent pass, not repaired for a hidden fault. Given the clean trailing record, the 308 presents as roadworthy on paper with no worsening trend. Verify service history matches the 120,441-mile clock and check for undertray oil leaks or worn drivetrain mounts that MOT testing would not routinely record.
