2009 Peugeot 308 XL HDI 1.6L Diesel · KS09 ZTR

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean pass in its most recent inspection in September 2024 at 106,522 miles. This lack of recorded defects or advisories suggests that the previous owner has addressed any burgeoning mechanical issues. While the failure in May 2023 indicated a lapse in standards, the subsequent successful test just a month later confirms that the necessary repairs were rectified. The history does not show a trend of progressive deterioration. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,266 miles per year. There is a notable period of activity between November 2021 and June 2023, during which the car covered 16,121 miles in just seventeen months. However, the usage slowed significantly recently, with only 17,622 miles between June 2023 and September 2024. This lower annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can occasionally lead to perished rubber seals or corrosion if the vehicle sat for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension components and braking system, as the vehicle's age makes these prone to perished bushings and seized calipers. Given the low annual mileage, check for structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches common in Peugeot 308 models. Since the most recent MOT showed no advisories, verify the condition of the tyres and the depth of the brake pads to ensure the clean test record reflects the actual state of these consumables.
