2012 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · CK12 ABF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 12 February 2026 at 64,433 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record reveals a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. In both February 2025 and February 2026, the car failed the initial test days before a re-test where it passed. This suggests that the owner addresses defects only when specifically prompted by the MOT tester rather than following a preventative maintenance schedule. The mileage profile is notably low for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. Between February 2024 and February 2025, the car covered 5,740 miles, while it covered 5,523 miles in the year leading up to the February 2026 test. While this low mileage suggests less wear on the engine and drivetrain components, it increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components, perished seals, and corrosion, especially if the vehicle has sat stationary for long periods between these short annual trips. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection focusing on the suspension and braking system, as low-mileage cars often suffer from seized brake calipers or perished suspension bushes. Because the record shows failures without specific defects listed in the summary, it is possible the issues were minor items like light bulbs, tyre pressure, or slight coil spring fractures. Given the vehicle's age, a close look at the structural integrity around the sills and rear wheel arches is essential, as low mileage does not prevent the oxidation of the metalwork over a decade.
