2017 Peugeot 308 1.2L Petrol · CV17 JSX

The Peugeot 308 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 30 April 2025 at 40,095 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. A failed attempt on the same date at 40,092 miles listed no defects, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior annual tests in May 2024, May 2023, and May 2022 all passed cleanly with no advisories, showing no worsening pattern across the five-year record. The vehicle has covered roughly 4,455 miles per year since its 2017 registration, totalling 40,095 miles at the last test. Mileage moved from 29,544 in May 2022 to 33,629 in May 2023, then 37,183 in May 2024 and 40,092 by April 2025. The annual increments sit near 3,500 to 3,900 miles, with no abrupt jumps or standing gaps. Low use of this order often means lighter wear on drivetrain and suspension bushes, though prolonged idle periods can let brake discs corrode or calipers bind if the car sat unused. Given the absence of any recorded advisories on tyres, exhaust emissions, suspension, or structural integrity, the MOT history alone shows no recurring faults demanding correction. A buyer should still confirm in person that the April 2025 failure was purely clerical, as DVSA systems sometimes flag mileage mismatch or missing documentation. Inspect brake discs for surface corrosion from low-mileage storage and check tyre sidewalls for age cracking despite adequate tread. The clean nine-year record implies the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current and avoided deferred consumable replacement. With no structural or mechanical risks flagged across five tests, the 308 reads as a low-risk used purchase pending a physical check of wear items the MOT does not measure in depth.
