2010 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · AF60 KNA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT results. The latest test, conducted in February 2025 at 81,258 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2024 and early 2023, suggesting that the owner has maintained the vehicle to a functional standard over the last two years. The mileage pattern is notably low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. Data from January 2023 to February 2025 shows the car covered only 5,312 miles in a two-year span, which is significantly lower than the UK average. This low usage suggests the car is likely used primarily for short local trips or remains stationary for extended periods. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it increases the risk of rubber components perishing or brake components seizing due to lack of regular mechanical exercise. The single failure recorded on 16 March 2023 at 76,059 miles, followed immediately by a pass the following day, indicates a minor issue that was rectified quickly. Because the record lacks recurring advisories for structural corrosion or suspension-related wear, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection for age-related degradation that MOT tests do not capture. Focus on the wheel arches and under sills for surface rust, and check for cracks in suspension bushes which often perish over time regardless of low mileage. Additionally, verify the brake discs for heavy surface or pitting, as low-mileage vehicles are prone to rapid oxidation on the braking surfaces.
