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.
