2013 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · CF13 VKE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent inspection in April 2026. While the record shows an initial failure on that same date at 170,840 miles, the subsequent pass with no recorded defects suggests a minor administrative error or a trivial fault that was rectified immediately. Since February 2023, the car has maintained a clean testing record without any advisories or failures, indicating that the mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable parameters recently. The mileage profile reflects high consistent use for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 13,000 miles per annum. Between February 2023 and April 2026, the car covered 38,558 miles, representing an accelerated rate of over 12,800 miles per year. This rapid accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used regularly for long-distance driving, which often prevents the issues associated with long periods of standing. The high cumulative mileage typically places significant stress on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking system, yet the MOT history shows these systems have been maintained effectively. Despite the lack of recorded defects, a physical inspection must focus on high-mileage wear points common to this model. A buyer should specifically scrutinise the condition of the front suspension arm bushes and coil springs, as these often degrade after 170,000 miles. Given the consistent usage, checking for signs of brake caliper wear or uneven wear on the discs is also essential. Furthermore, verifying the structural integrity of the sills and wheel arches for corrosion is necessary to ensure that the high mileage has not led to accelerated chassis degradation despite the clean MOT history.
