2008 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · CK08 ADU

The 2008 Peugeot 308 last secured a clean MOT pass on 27 April 2022 at 112,017 miles, following a curious fail logged on 26 April 2022 at identical mileage with no defects cited. This history shows a stable compliance trend across the available tests, yet the record is now over four years old relative to today's date of 17 July 2026, leaving present roadworthiness unverified. No advisories or mechanical faults appear in any entry from 2019 through 2022. Mileage progression reveals exceptionally light use for an eighteen-year-old vehicle. The odometer read 108,874 miles on 29 January 2019, climbed to 111,823 miles by 9 March 2020, then inexplicably dropped to 111,607 miles at the 29 April 2021 test before settling at 112,017 miles on 27 April 2022. That reversal between March 2020 and April 2021 signals a possible recording error or odometer inconsistency that a buyer must investigate. Annual coverage averaged well below the typical 6,200 miles for the age, with only around 3,100 miles added across three years. Previous owners clearly stored or sparingly drove the car, but prolonged standing invites unseen degradation. The absence of recorded advisories on a high-mileage aged hatchback should not be read as proof of sound condition; testers may have omitted wear notes on items like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs. A physical inspection must target structural corrosion on sills and subframes, binding calipers from inactivity, and exhaust emissions integrity. A buyer must confirm odometer authenticity and commission a fresh MOT given the expired status. Inspect tyre sidewall cracking from age, wiper blade perishment, and fluid contamination. The clean paper trail offers limited assurance for a vehicle of this vintage that has sat untaxed for years.
