2014 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · SK14 AEJ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-03-10 at 70,275 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but this followed a failed test on 2026-03-05 at the same mileage, also with no defects noted. This pattern suggests either an administrative anomaly or a technical issue during the failed test, though no mechanical faults were recorded. Previous tests from 2024-03-20 (58,226 miles) and 2025-03-14 (64,211 miles) showed consistent passing with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past three years. The vehicle’s mileage of 70,275 miles over 12 years equates to an average of 5,856 miles annually, significantly lower than typical usage. This suggests either infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can lead to component degradation despite low mileage. The MOT records show no gaps in testing, with annual checks between 2024 and 2026, but the abrupt 1,000-mile jump from 64,211 to 70,275 miles between 2025-03-14 and 2026-03-10 raises questions about the accuracy of recorded mileage or driving patterns. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can mask dry rot or stiffness. Brake components, including calipers and discs, should be checked for corrosion or binding, particularly if the vehicle was stored for extended periods. The exhaust system and body structure should also be examined for rust, as inactivity may accelerate corrosion in vulnerable areas. No structural or safety-critical defects were recorded, but the MOT history warrants cautious evaluation of the vehicle’s operational history.
