2018 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · GO06 ABS

The 2018 Peugeot 308 has demonstrated consistent roadworthiness across five consecutive MOT tests, all passing without defects or advisories. The most recent inspection on 14 March 2026—just four months ago—confirms the vehicle remains compliant with current UK standards, with no indications of recurring mechanical failures or unresolved issues. This pattern suggests the car has been maintained at a baseline level, though the absence of advisories in any test means there is no documented history of pre-existing concerns that required attention beyond routine MOT criteria. The recorded mileage progression of 11,109 miles annually is typical for a vehicle of this age, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. The most notable interval is between the 2023 and 2024 tests, where mileage increased by 8,115 miles in a year, yet this remains within reasonable wear expectations. There are no gaps exceeding the standard 12-month MOT cycle, indicating the vehicle has been tested regularly. However, the lack of service history beyond MOT records means critical intervals for suspension bushes, timing belt (if applicable), and fluid changes cannot be verified. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear components not routinely checked in a standard MOT. The suspension—particularly coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers—should be examined for uneven wear or binding, as these are common failure points at this mileage. Brake discs and calipers warrant close scrutiny for uneven wear or corrosion, especially if the vehicle has seen varied driving conditions. Additionally, the underbody should be inspected for structural corrosion, particularly around wheel arches and sills, where rust can compromise structural integrity over time. While the MOT record shows no defects, these areas are not fully assessed in a test and may require professional evaluation.
