2008 Peugeot 308 Sport HDI 110 1.6L Heavy oil · SG08 AAJ

The vehicle shows a history of inconsistent maintenance, though the most recent recorded entries suggest a period of relative stability. The last recorded MOT pass in February 2020 at 77,595 miles showed no defects, following a clean test in January 2022 at 93,047 miles. However, the significant gap in testing data between early 2022 and the current date of July 2026 represents a substantial period of unverified roadworthiness. While the vehicle appears to have been maintained adequately in the latter years of the record, the lack of recent documentation is a primary concern for any prospective buyer. The mileage pattern indicates low annual usage, averaging approximately 5,169 miles per year over its eighteen-year lifespan. This low usage is evident when comparing the 44,397 miles recorded in January 2012 to the 93,047 miles in January 2022. Such low mileage often implies the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary, which can lead to specific mechanical issues. The record shows a tendency for components to degrade through age and inactivity rather than heavy wear, particularly regarding rubber components and braking surfaces. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and suspension. The MOT history reveals a recurring pattern of issues with brake discs, including pitting, scoring, and serious weakening, as seen in the January 2015 failure. The parking brake has also been a persistent fault, with failures recorded in 2018 and 2019 involving broken cables and insufficient efficiency. Given the history of fluctuating brake performance and binding calipers, a detailed check of the rear drums or discs and the handbrake mechanism is essential. Suspension and chassis components also require close scrutiny. The records show repeated failures involving deteriorated suspension arm bushes, leaking shock absorbers, and broken coil springs between 2014 and 2019. While these specific faults were cleared in subsequent tests, the frequency of these issues suggests that rubber bushings and spring integrity are known weak points for this vehicle. A buyer should also inspect the underside for signs of corrosion and ensure that the recent period of inactivity has not resulted in seized calipers or perished seals.
