2014 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · GJ64 AAY

A pattern of immediate rectification following test failures defines the roadworthiness history of this vehicle, with failures recorded in February 2024 and October 2025 followed shortly by passes. The latest test on 30 October 2025 was completed without any defects or advisories. While the record shows no chronic issues, the recurring sequence of failure and subsequent pass indicates a trend of addressing faults just in time for certification. The odometer shows 65,515 miles, which is low for a vehicle of this age, reflecting an average annual accumulation of roughly 5,460 miles. This indicates a usage profile characterized by lighter duty or periods of inactivity. Mechanically, this reduces the expected wear on the internal combustion components and drivetrain, though it shifts the focus of wear toward age-related degradation of perished rubber and seals. Given that the provided DVSA records contain no specific advisories or listed defects for either the passes or the failures, there are no documented component failures to specifically target. A test drive should therefore focus on the general mechanical harmony of the vehicle. Listen for any knocks or clunks from the suspension linkages when traversing uneven surfaces and check for any steering pull or vibration at higher speeds. Attention should also be paid to the operation of the braking system to ensure there is no pedal judder or binding of the calipers. While the MOT history is devoid of specific warnings, checking the underbody for any signs of corrosion on the subframe or suspension mounting points is advisable for a vehicle of this vintage. Ensure all electronic controls and interior switches function as intended, as these can be prone to intermittent faults in low-mileage examples.
