2008 Peugeot 308 1.4L Petrol · CV08 DSY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test conducted in April 2025 at 39,840 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following a failure just one day prior at the same mileage. This isolated failure likely represents a clerical error in the testing process or a minor component that was immediately rectified, as the subsequent and preceding tests show no recurring mechanical or structural faults across the last four years. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,213 miles per year. Between February 2022 and April 2025, the car covered 7,887 miles, indicating periods of very light use or long-term storage. While low mileage typically suggests less wear on the engine, gearbox, and drivetrain components, the infrequent use of a vehicle of this age can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and the oxidation of brake surfaces, which are not always fully captured by a standard mileage-based assessment. Given the clean MOT record and the lack of recorded advisories, a buyer should perform a thorough physical inspection of the chassis for structural corrosion. Low-mileage Peugeot models from this era are susceptible to rust in the sills and rear wheel arches if they have sat in damp environments. Inspect the condition of the tyres for cracking or sidewalling and check the suspension bushes for perish, as these parts often age through time regardless of the low distance driven.
