2012 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · CA12 KXU

The 2025‑08‑06 MOT at 80,380 miles recorded a pass, indicating that the Peugeot 308 is presently roadworthy. The record shows a stable maintenance pattern, with no evidence of worsening mechanical condition; recurring items such as suspension arm pins, bushes, tyre wear and brake pad thickness have been noted in earlier tests but were addressed or remained within acceptable limits. Mileage has risen steadily from 42,577 miles in May 2015 to 80,380 miles in August 2025, an average increase of roughly 5,700 miles per year, which is low for a 14‑year‑old vehicle and suggests light usage or extended periods of inactivity. The annual testing interval is continuous, with no missing MOT entries, and the mileage increments between successive tests remain within a narrow band, confirming a consistent annual usage profile. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension components – particularly the arm pins and bushes that have repeatedly been flagged – the brake system, including pad thickness and disc condition, and the tyre sidewalls for perishing or cracking, especially given the recurring 5.2.3 (d) (ii) and 5.2.3 (e) advisories. Particular attention should also be given to the effectiveness of the windscreen wipers, the handbrake’s full return, and any signs of structural rust on the chassis or wheel arches, as these items have appeared in multiple previous tests.
