2014 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · AE14 OBW

The 2014 Peugeot 308 presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its most recent MOT, which passed on 2026-02-27 at 83,995 miles with no defects recorded. However, a prior failure on 2026-02-13 at 83,582 miles—also without recorded defects—suggests potential procedural or administrative issues. The absence of mechanical or structural faults in the latest test indicates the vehicle has been maintained to a standard meeting legal requirements, though the recent failure raises questions about the consistency of its MOT compliance. The mileage progression aligns with the vehicle’s 12-year age, averaging roughly 7,000 miles annually. Notable gaps include a 421-mile span between the 2025-02-19 pass (78,326 miles) and the 2024-02-21 pass (73,553 miles), which may reflect infrequent testing or irregular usage. A smaller discrepancy exists between the 2024-02-19 failure (73,531 miles) and the subsequent pass on 2024-02-21 (73,553 miles), a 22-mile difference that could indicate a scheduling error or minimal driving between tests. The MOT history lacks recurring defects, suggesting no systemic mechanical or safety issues. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, such as worn bushes or coil springs, which are common in 2014 models, and inspect the exhaust system for corrosion, as these are typical wear points. Brake discs and calipers should also be checked for uneven wear or binding, even though no brake-related issues were flagged. The absence of structural rust or major defects in the MOT records is reassuring, but physical inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’s overall integrity.
