2010 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · MM10 ABK

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful inspection on 1 September 2025 at 132,919 miles. While the most recent test showed no defects, the maintenance trend indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The history of multiple failures in late 2024 and 2025 suggests that the previous owner only addressed mechanical issues once they reached a legal threshold, rather than performing routine preventative maintenance on components. At a recorded mileage of 132,919 miles over 16 years, the car averages approximately 8,300 miles per annum. This aligns with typical UK usage for a hatchback of this age. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with 8,327 miles covered between the August 2024 and September 2025 tests. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of inactivity, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown. The buyer must investigate the specific reasons for the three failures recorded in August 2024 and August 2025, as the provided summary does not detail the exact defect codes. Given the frequency of failures within short windows, a physical inspection should focus on suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake lines, which are common failure points on Peugeot models of this era. Additionally, checking for structural corrosion on the sills and rear mounting points is essential, as rust often leads to MOT failures that recur quickly if left untreated.
