2016 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · CU16 LWS

The Peugeot 308 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 30 January 2026 at 94,284 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior annual test in January 2025 also passed clean at 86,565 miles. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the available history, indicating the vehicle has not shown worsening condition or recurring component failures in the recorded period. Mileage progression sits at a typical level for a 2016 car. The record shows 74,372 miles in January 2024, 86,534 miles by January 2025, and 94,284 miles by January 2026, equating to roughly 10,000 miles per year. The two failed entries on 29 January 2024 and 28 January 2025 were followed by immediate passes two days later at near-identical mileages, with no defects listed on either the failures or passes. This pattern suggests administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical neglect by the owner, and the clean defect history points to consistent basic upkeep. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase. The MOT data shows no flagged corrosion, suspension bush wear, brake disc scoring, or exhaust emission breaches, but the test record alone does not measure hidden structural integrity or intermittent faults. Given the car is now ten years old with 94,284 miles, examine the front coil springs, subframe mounts, and brake calipers for binding or seepage that a visual MOT may not capture. Confirm the reason for the two short-interval fail-and-pass pairs in 2024 and 2025 with the presenting garage or DVSA portal. If those were clerical reversals, the ownership history reflects responsible servicing. If any latent defect existed, a hands-on check of tyre tread depth, wiper function, and underbody rust protection remains prudent at this age and mileage.
