AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle's MOT history shows a stable trend in recent years, with the most recent test on 24 November 2023 resulting in a pass with no recorded defects. This follows a failure on 15 November 2022, though the specific cause of that failure was not documented in the provided record. The subsequent pass in November 2022 suggests that whatever issue caused the failure was rectified immediately. The vehicle has covered 143,397 miles over its lifespan, averaging approximately 14,340 miles per year. This represents a higher-than-average annual mileage for a 2016 model. While the MOT records provide a snapshot of compliance, the high cumulative mileage suggests increased wear on mechanical components such as the suspension, drivetrain, and braking system compared to lower-mileage examples of the same age. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the underside to check for corrosion on the exhaust and chassis, as high-mileage vehicles often show more advanced oxidation. Given the mileage, specific attention should be paid to the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers. The braking system, including disc thickness and caliper operation, requires a manual check to ensure no binding or excessive wear has developed since the last recorded pass.

Our Verdict

Proceed with caution due to high mileage. While recent MOT results are clean, the vehicle's usage significantly exceeds the model average.

Given the high mileage of 143,397 miles, your priority should be verifying the service history. For a 1.6L diesel engine of this age, ensure the timing belt (cambelt) and water pump have been replaced according to manufacturer intervals.

Negotiate based on the mileage; while the recent MOTs are clear, a vehicle that has travelled significantly more than its peers may face more frequent component wear. Ask specifically for proof of any major interval services or recent heavy maintenance, such as clutch or turbocharger work.

As a 1.6L diesel, this Peugeot 308 is designed for efficiency on longer journeys, likely offering competitive fuel economy. However, the high mileage may lead to more frequent maintenance requirements for suspension and braking components compared to lower-mileage examples.

Tax and insurance groups for this model vary depending on the specific trim level, but you should confirm the exact insurance group before purchasing. Expect typical diesel maintenance costs, including regular oil changes and potential diesel particulate filter (DPF) considerations if used for short urban trips.

Pay close attention to the underside and suspension components. While this specific vehicle's MOT history does not list recent failures, the aggregate data for this model shows drive shaft joints and tyres as common failure points.

Check the condition of the tyres and the operation of the headlamps, as these are frequent issues for the Peugeot 308 across the wider fleet. Given the high mileage, also inspect the engine bay for any signs of oil leaks and listen for unusual noises from the drive shaft or suspension when test driving.

This 2016 white Peugeot 308 diesel has covered 143,397 miles as of its last MOT in November 2023. This is substantially higher than the model average of 7,295 miles per year, suggesting heavy long-distance use. The MOT history shows a single failure in November 2022, but the two most recent tests passed without recorded defects.

Aggregate data from over 156,000 vehicles shows a 76.5% average MOT pass rate for this model, with headlamps, tyres, and drive shaft joints being common failure reasons.
