2011 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · GU61 AAO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent entries in its official testing history. The final recorded test conducted in September 2021 at 87,613 miles passed without any defects or advisories. While the history shows minor failures immediately prior to successful passes in 2020 and 2021, the vehicle has consistently maintained legal road-safety standards once those initial issues were rectified. The mileage profile is notably low for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per year. There is a significant gap in data between 2019 and 2020, where the car covered roughly 8,600 miles over a year, followed by another 9,000 miles in the subsequent period. This low-frequency usage suggests the car may have spent long periods stationary, which can often lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown despite the lack of mileage-related mechanical wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age and environmental exposure rather than high-age friction. Given the low mileage, it is essential to check suspension bushings, bushes, and hoses for cracking or perishment caused by time rather than use. The brake discs and calipers should be inspected for corrosion or pitting, which is common in vehicles that sit unused for extended periods. The underbody should also be checked for structural rust to ensure the low-usage history has not masked significant oxidation of the chassis.
