2018 Peugeot 308 1.5L Diesel · AE68 XRT

The 2018 Peugeot 308 presents a stable and exemplary maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 5 June 2025 at 77,623 miles. The MOT record shows zero defects across the most recent three years of testing, indicating diligent upkeep and a lack of recurring mechanical or structural faults. A minor anomaly exists in the 2023 record, where a failure and a pass both appear on 30 May at 67,695 miles with no defects listed, likely reflecting an administrative or aborted test issue rather than a mechanical fault. Overall, the vehicle sits in robust roadworthiness condition according to DVSA standards. At roughly eight years old with 77,623 miles recorded, the annual average of approximately 9,703 miles aligns perfectly with typical UK usage. The mileage progression is highly consistent, moving from 65,023 miles in June 2022 to 73,056 miles in June 2024, and finally 77,623 miles in June 2025. This steady accumulation of around 4,000 to 6,000 miles per year reflects regular, sustained use rather than prolonged standing or aggressive high-mileage driving. The record lacks any significant gaps in testing or erratic mileage jumps, reinforcing a pattern of routine, everyday motoring. Despite the flawless DVSA record, a physical inspection remains prudent for a vehicle approaching eight years of age. The absence of historical advisories means there are no recurring faults to chase, yet age-related wear demands scrutiny of consumables and structural components. A buyer should inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, check the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or binding, and examine the exhaust system for corrosion. Tyre condition and tread depth warrant a close look, as does the structural integrity of the underbody and sills to ensure no rust has developed since the last test.
