2014 Peugeot 308 1.2L Petrol · CU14 XHC

The 2014 Peugeot 308 presents a clean and stable roadworthiness status. The most recent test on 30 July 2025 at 65,868 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the preceding four annual tests show the same outcome. The maintenance trend is steady with no worsening or recurring advisories across the five-year DVSA history. Annual mileage sits at roughly 5,489 per year against the vehicle's twelve-year age, a low figure for a hatchback of this period. The records show even yearly accumulation: 42,981 miles in July 2021, 48,302 in July 2022, 54,322 in July 2023, 60,493 in July 2024, and 65,868 in July 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. The clean sheet across all entries suggests the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current, though low use can mask perished rubber components from standing. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age. The MOT data flags no corrosion or structural integrity concerns, yet test stations often miss early subframe rust on French vehicles without stripping undertrays. Verify the condition of tyres and wiper blades as consumables near end of life. Check for binding calipers and exhaust emissions during a cold start, since the low annual distance means the engine may rarely reach full operating temperature. The absence of advisories implies sound care, but a independent mechanical survey remains prudent before purchase.
