2021 Peugeot 308 Allure DIG SW Bhdi S/S A 1.5L Diesel · OU21 ADO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2026-02-25 confirms it remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded at 69,670 miles. However, the absence of advisories or minor failings in any of the four tests—including the duplicate entry for 2024—suggests a stable maintenance pattern, though the lack of pre-MOT servicing records means no independent verification of wear items like brakes, suspension, or emissions systems exists. The final pass date is just five months old, which is acceptable but not ideal for a vehicle with this mileage; ideally, a test within the last three months would provide fresher assurance. The recorded mileage progression reveals unusually high annual mileage, averaging 13,934 miles over five years. This is well above the typical 8,000–10,000 miles per annum for a vehicle of this age, indicating either consistent heavy use or prolonged periods of neglect between services. The gap between the 2025 and 2026 tests—just over a year—aligns with the MOT cycle, but the absence of any advisories in 2025 (when the vehicle was at 53,066 miles) suggests either diligent upkeep or that critical components were replaced privately. The duplicate pass/fail entry for 2024 at 36,838 miles is anomalous and may indicate an administrative error, though it does not reflect mechanical condition. Given the lack of recorded defects, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on high-wear items likely to have exceeded their service intervals. The brakes—particularly rear calipers and discs—should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as high mileage accelerates pad and rotor degradation. Suspension bushes and coil springs warrant scrutiny for cracking or excessive play, while the exhaust system should be inspected for corrosion or leaks, especially around joints. Tyre tread depth and uniformity are critical; failing twice on tread in prior tests (if implied by the absence of advisories) would necessitate confirmation of current condition. Finally, the underbody should be examined for structural rust, particularly around wheel arches and sills, as prolonged exposure to road salt or poor maintenance can compromise integrity.
