2016 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · 67 EL

The 2016 Peugeot 308 presents a highly stable maintenance trend, demonstrating consistent roadworthiness across its recent history. The most recent MOT test on 3 December 2025 at 54,750 miles passed with zero defects, mirroring the clean bills of health recorded in the preceding four years. This unblemished record indicates a vehicle that has required no corrective mechanical or structural attention to meet DVSA standards, reflecting diligent upkeep by the previous owner. At ten years old with 54,750 miles on the clock, the vehicle has covered an average of roughly 5,475 miles annually, which is notably low for its age. The mileage accumulation shows a steady, consistent climb rather than erratic spikes: 28,001 miles in December 2021, 35,216 miles in December 2022, 41,844 miles in December 2023, 47,503 miles in December 2024, and 54,750 miles in December 2025. The odometer has remained static at 54,750 miles for the seven months since the last test, suggesting either a recent cessation of use, a period of storage, or a failure to submit a current test despite the expiry of the December 2025 certificate. Despite the flawless MOT record, a buyer must inspect the vehicle thoroughly in person to verify its current condition, particularly given the stagnant mileage. Extended periods of low usage or standing can cause suspension bushes to perish, brake discs to surface-corrode, and tyres to develop flat spots or sidewall cracking. Check the condition of the rubber components, including the auxiliary drive belt and coolant hoses, as age-related degradation occurs regardless of mileage. Examine the exhaust system for corrosion and verify the structural integrity of the underbody, ensuring the lack of recent use has not masked any developing issues that a static inspection might miss.
