2008 Peugeot 308 S DT 1.6L Heavy oil · CK08 ACU

The Peugeot 308 passed its most recent MOT on 5 April 2023 at 151,027 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the available history reads as stable. The March 2022 failure at 145,787 miles was logged with no defects recorded, suggesting an administrative or unclassified issue rather than a mechanical fault, and the car then passed one month later at 146,753 miles. Across five tests from December 2018 to April 2023, the tester raised no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions. The odometer shows 151,027 miles against an 18-year life, an average of roughly 8,390 miles per year and in line with typical use for this age of vehicle. Mileage moved from 105,127 in December 2018 to 120,258 by December 2019, then jumped to 145,787 by March 2022 after a near three-year gap in records. The final year added only 5,274 miles to reach the 2023 figure. The sparse history shows clean passes once testing resumed, but the missing 2020 and 2021 entries leave the condition across that period unverified. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the MOT record contains no corrosion checks for the later years and a 2008 hatchback at this mileage is prone to subframe and sill rust. The brake calipers, coil springs, and suspension arms should be assessed for binding or fatigue not captured in a pass-with-no-defects test. The March 2022 failure with no listed defect warrants a check of the DVSA failure reason, since it may point to a one-off test anomaly rather than resolved wear.
