2018 PEUGEOT 3081.6L Diesel

The Peugeot 308 presents a current roadworthy status following the 9 December 2025 MOT pass at 135,147 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the supplied records. On 8 December 2025 the tester recorded a fail at the same mileage yet listed no defects; the vehicle returned the next day and passed with no defects logged. This anomaly does not indicate ongoing mechanical deterioration but warrants verification of the failure reason through DVSA documentation. The recorded odometer readings show the car covered 128,072 miles by 6 January 2025 and 135,147 miles by 9 December 2025, a modest 7,075-mile accumulation over eleven months that sits below the implied annual average of 16,893 miles for its age. At roughly eight years old with 135,147 miles on the clock, the vehicle carries above-average mileage for a 2018 hatchback, suggesting sustained commuter or motorway use in earlier years. The supplied MOT history is sparse, containing only three entries within the final twelve months, so no long-term wear pattern can be established from the data alone. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of high-stress components given the mileage. Examine front and rear suspension bushes for play, check coil springs for fractures, and measure brake disc thickness and caliper operation to rule out binding. Inspect subframes and sills for corrosion, and verify exhaust emissions under load. The clean MOT advisories do not exempt the car from consumable wear; the previous owner’s rapid rectification of the December 2025 fail implies responsiveness, but the absence of recorded defects across two passes suggests either meticulous upkeep or tests conducted under lenient conditions.
