2012 Peugeot 308 Active HDI 1.6L Diesel · FNZ 818

The Peugeot 308 Active HDI presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 July 2025 at 142,234 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken four-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. The vehicle shows no worsening faults, recurring advisories, or structural concerns across the available history. Mileage progression sits close to typical use for a 14-year-old car. The record runs from 113,463 miles on 8 March 2022 through 122,704 miles on 2 March 2023, 134,829 miles on 11 June 2024, and 142,234 miles on 19 July 2025. That equates to roughly 9,000 to 10,000 miles per year with no abrupt jumps or standing gaps. The DVSA data is sparse in detail but consistently clean, which suggests routine annual testing without deferred intervals. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection despite the clear MOT sheet. No tester flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion, yet a 2012 diesel at 142,234 miles will carry age-related wear the annual test may not capture between visits. Examine subframe condition, front suspension arms, and exhaust emissions hardware for hidden degradation. Check the cambelt and water pump service history, as the HDI unit requires timed replacement irrespective of MOT pass status. Verify brake caliper freedom and tyre sidewall cracking through physical checks. The record implies previous owners kept basic statutory compliance but offers no evidence of proactive mechanical care beyond the test bay.
