2016 Peugeot 308 1.2L Petrol · AE16 WFH

The 2016 Peugeot 308 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 February 2026 at 76,637 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following an anomalous same-day failure on 11 February 2026 also at 76,637 miles that listed no defects; this points to an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests on 13 February 2025 at 62,749 miles, 23 February 2024 at 50,813 miles, and 15 June 2023 at 47,176 miles all passed cleanly with no advisories, showing the vehicle has avoided recurring wear-related failures across its recent history. The mileage pattern sits close to typical use for a ten-year-old car, averaging roughly 7,664 miles per year. The record shows 3,064 miles added between June 2023 and February 2024, then 11,936 miles over the following year to February 2025, and 13,888 miles to February 2026. That is a gradual rise in annual use rather than a sudden accumulation spike. The sparse five-entry history with zero advisories means we have limited visibility of consumable condition, but no warning signs of neglected intervals or standing damage appear in the data. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the clean MOT record offers no insight into incipient wear. The same-day fail with no defects suggests the V5 or test paperwork should be checked for accuracy before purchase. With no corrosion, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity issues flagged across any test, the chassis and drivetrain show no recorded decline, though pre-2019 Peugeot models often hide undertray rust that MOT testers may not lift. Given the owner kept the car through three consecutive passes with rising but moderate mileage, basic upkeep appears consistent rather than deferred. Verify the 2026 failure cause in the DVSA portal and confirm service history matches the 76,637-mile odometer before committing.
