2009 Peugeot 308 1.6L Petrol · A21 DCP

The 2009 Peugeot 308 passed its most recent MOT on 4 December 2025 at 130,972 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a currently roadworthy status and a stable maintenance trend across the available history. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or failures that would suggest worsening mechanical condition. A single pre-Christmas failure on 28 November 2024 at 122,919 miles was followed four days later by a pass at 123,054 miles, with no defects listed on either entry, pointing to an administrative or minor correction rather than a substantive fault. Mileage accumulation is broadly typical for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging around 7,704 miles per year against the 130,972 recorded. The records show steady use: 116,657 miles in November 2022, 118,814 in November 2023, and 123,054 by December 2024. Only 7,918 miles were added in the twelve months to the December 2025 test. The sparse five-entry history with clean results gives limited visibility, but no rapid accumulation or long dormant gaps appear. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the car's age and 130,972 miles of service. The MOT record flags no brake disc wear, binding calipers, or exhaust emission breaches, yet DVSA tests at this mileage can miss intermittent faults. Verify the 28 November 2024 failure reason via the full DVSA certificate, as the summary lists no defects despite the reject. Previous keepers maintained the car to a passable standard with no ignored tyre or wiper advisories across the timeline. The absence of structural integrity warnings is favourable for a Peugeot of this era, where sills and suspension mounts commonly degrade. Treat the clean record as a baseline, not a guarantee, and confirm underside condition before purchase.
