2013 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · CV13 MLZ

The Peugeot 308 passed its most recent MOT on 26 October 2021 at 229,184 miles with no defects recorded, leaving the maintenance trend neither improving nor worsening but simply undocumented beyond that date. Given today's date of 8 July 2026, the vehicle has stood with no recorded test for over four and a half years, which itself raises a roadworthiness question the certificate cannot answer. The recorded mileage of 229,184 at the 2021 test equates to roughly 17,630 miles per year across the car's thirteen years, a high annual figure that points to sustained motorway or business use rather than short urban trips. The single MOT entry provided shows no earlier or later tests, so we cannot chart accumulation or gaps in the usual way; the clean pass at that high mileage suggests the previous owner kept consumables and emissions within limits at least to that point. A buyer must treat the 2021 pass as historical only. The long dormancy since means tyres, brake discs, and suspension bushes will have degraded through age and moisture even if mileage stayed low. We would inspect for corroded brake lines, perished rubber, and flat-spotted tyres from standing. Structural integrity and underside corrosion should be checked closely, as a 2013 Peugeot left unused for years often develops chassis rust. Without a fresh test, assume nothing from the 2021 result and commission a full pre-purchase inspection before any road use.
