Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The current roadworthiness status of this Peugeot 308 is defined by a recent pass on 4 June 2026, though the record indicates a worsening trend in mechanical condition. While the vehicle passed the test, the presence of five distinct advisories highlights emerging issues with the braking and suspension systems that were absent in the two preceding years. The transition from a clean pass in 2025 to a failure and subsequent pass in 2026 suggests that the vehicle has reached a stage where consumable components are requiring attention. The vehicle has covered 56,577 miles over approximately nine years, averaging roughly 6,286 miles per annum. This rate of use is consistent and suggests regular operation rather than prolonged periods of inactivity. The MOT history is relatively continuous, with annual testing occurring between June 2023 and June 2026. There are no significant gaps in the testing cycle, which confirms that the vehicle has remained in active service throughout this period. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the rear braking system, specifically the discs, which were flagged for pitting and scoring in the most recent test. The suspension requires equal attention, as the corrosion noted on both rear coil springs and the wear identified in the nearside front lower suspension arm bush indicate that these components are nearing the end of their functional life. Addressing these items will likely be necessary in the short term to maintain roadworthiness. Buying score: 55. Risk level: Medium.

Our Verdict

A highly recommended choice for those looking for a low-mileage petrol hatchback with a clean and consistent MOT record. This specific 308 has travelled significantly less than the national average for its age.

When inspecting this 308, verify that the low mileage is consistent with the service history, as the recorded figure is well below average for a nine-year-old car. Check the records for the 1.2 engine's timing belt intervals; these often require replacement at specific intervals regardless of mileage. Since the most recent MOT in June 2025 showed no defects, the car appears to have been maintained to basic standards recently.

Negotiate based on any signs of wear on tyres, as these are common failure points for this model across the aggregate data. Given the car's age, also inspect the interior for any signs of wear that might contradict the low mileage, which can sometimes indicate the car has been used more than the odometer suggests.

The 1200cc petrol engine is designed for fuel economy, typically falling into a lower insurance group and competitive road tax band. Owners can expect respectable MPG for mixed driving, making it a cost-effective option for daily commuting.

Maintenance costs for the Peugeot 308 are generally moderate, though buyers should budget for annual servicing and potential brake wear. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, and basic maintenance, fall between £900 and £1,100 depending on usage.

Pay close attention to the 2023 MOT failure; while the specific reason is not listed in the summary provided, you should ask the seller what was rectified to ensure it wasn't a recurring issue. Check the tyres and headlamp alignment, as these are identified as top failure reasons for the 308 model fleet.

Inspect the drive shaft joints for any play or boot tearing, as this is a known weak point for this vehicle. Additionally, check the suspension for any signs of wear, which can occur as vehicles approach the 50,000-mile mark.

This 2017 Peugeot 308 currently sits at 50,431 miles, which is considerably lower than the calculated average of 7,295 miles per year for this model. Despite a single MOT failure in 2023 at 35,529 miles, the vehicle has passed all subsequent tests without defects. The 1.2cc petrol engine suggests a focus on efficiency and lower tax brackets for urban and short-distance driving.

The Peugeot 308 shows a 76.5% average MOT pass rate across 156,083 vehicles, with common issues related to lamps, tyres, and drive shaft joints.
