2010 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · CE10 EWB

The 2010 Peugeot 308 presents a stable and highly reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 15 April 2026 at 141,329 miles with zero defects recorded. Since a failed test on 7 June 2023 at 124,977 miles, the vehicle has passed three consecutive MOTs without a single advisory or defect. The 2023 failure itself lists no recorded defects, suggesting an administrative issue or a minor rectification completed within the five days before the subsequent pass on 12 June 2023. This pattern indicates a current owner who maintains the car to a high mechanical standard, promptly addressing any compliance issues. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 8,800 miles per year, which is typical for a sixteen-year-old family hatchback. Between the 2024 test at 127,892 miles and the 2025 test at 137,674 miles, the car covered nearly 9,800 miles, representing a period of regular use. The most recent year shows a lower accumulation of 3,655 miles between April 2025 and April 2026, indicating either lighter use or a change in ownership patterns. There are no suspicious gaps or rapid spikes in the odometer readings, supporting the view of consistent, unremarkable usage. Despite the pristine MOT record, a sixteen-year-old Peugeot 308 at 141,000 miles demands a thorough physical inspection of aging components that do not always surface during a standard test. Buyers should closely examine the structural integrity of the underbody and suspension mounts for corrosion, a common issue for vehicles of this era. The condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers warrants attention, as wear here affects ride quality without necessarily triggering a failure. Brake disc thickness and condition should be verified, alongside checking for any signs of binding calipers or uneven pad wear. A comprehensive inspection of the exhaust system for leaks and a verification of engine mounts will round out the assessment of this otherwise mechanically sound vehicle.
