2017 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · CX67 AXD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2025-09-01 at 159,828 miles showing no defects. However, the maintenance trend reveals inconsistencies, including a failed test on 2024-08-07 at the same mileage as the subsequent pass on 2024-08-15. This suggests potential administrative errors or unresolved issues requiring retesting. The absence of defects in the last three tests indicates stable performance, but the high mileage of 159,828 miles—equivalent to 17,759 annual miles—raises concerns about accelerated wear on critical components. The mileage pattern shows a sharp increase from 139,052 miles in 2023-09-20 to 152,322 miles by 2024-08-15, a 13,270-mile jump in just 11 months. This exceeds typical annual usage and may indicate heavy driving or odometer tampering. The 2022-09-12 test at 119,815 miles and the 2023-09-20 test at 139,052 miles suggest a more moderate 19,237-mile annual increase, but the 2024-2025 period reflects a significant acceleration. Such rapid accumulation could compromise suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, even if no faults were recorded. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, given the high mileage and potential for fatigue. The exhaust system and corrosion resistance should also be checked, as prolonged use increases rust risk. While no advisories were noted in the MOT records, the vehicle’s age and mileage warrant a detailed pre-purchase inspection to confirm the integrity of brake calipers, discs, and exhaust emissions. The lack of recurring defects is positive, but the data does not confirm long-term reliability beyond the most recent test.
