2009 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · CV59 CPU

The 2009 Peugeot 308 passed its most recent MOT on 7 November 2025 at 129,317 miles with no defects recorded, giving it a current roadworthy status. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the preceding test on 29 October 2025 failed at 129,308 miles with no defects logged, a pattern that suggests an administrative or presentation fault rather than a mechanical defect. The clean pass in November confirms the car left the test bay legally compliant. Mileage sits at 129,317 against an age of roughly 17 years, equating to about 7,600 miles per year, which is typical for a car of this vintage. The records show 115,314 miles on 19 October 2023, rising to 120,347 by 27 September 2024 and 129,317 by November 2025, a steady annual accumulation near 9,000 miles with no standing gaps or sudden spikes. The DVSA data is sparse across the three years shown, with no advisories or defects listed on any pass or fail, so the history gives little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and mileage, as MOT silence does not confirm absence of wear. The twin 2024 and 2025 September to November tests with zero recorded defects imply the previous keeper presented the car for testing but the October 2025 failure with no fault cited warrants checking the VOSA failure reason code. Structural corrosion around sills and subframes should be examined closely, as a 2009 Peugeot is prone to rust where moisture traps form. Treat the clean record as a baseline rather than assurance. The repeated zero-defect entries show the vehicle was not failing on tyre tread, binding calipers, or emissions, which suggests basic upkeep was maintained. Verify the October 2025 failure cause and commission an independent mechanical check before purchase.
