2010 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · DA10 DXO

The 2010 Peugeot 308 presents a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 25 September 2025 at 124,764 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior successful tests also closed clean. The maintenance history shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the five-year span, indicating the vehicle has been kept to a passable standard without escalating concerns. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,798 per year against the 16-year lifespan, which is typical for a car of this age. The records show steady accumulation: 82,318 miles in April 2022, 93,214 at the failed April 2023 attempt, 93,371 twenty days later, 102,062 by May 2024, and 124,764 by September 2025. The jump between the 2024 and 2025 entries reflects about 22,700 miles in seventeen months, a slightly heavier spell of use but not abnormal for a commuter hatchback. The only blemish is the failure on 15 April 2023 at 93,214 miles, where the tester issued a fail yet logged no specific defect. This suggests an administrative or presentation issue rather than a hard mechanical fault, as the car passed nine days later with no work noted. No corrosion, suspension bush wear, brake binding, or exhaust emission problems appear anywhere in the sequence. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and consumable items not captured by a clean MOT, given the car is now high-mileage for its class. Check front coil springs, subframe rust, and brake disc thickness at the front and rear. Verify the timing belt interval for the Peugeot unit has been observed. The sparse record offers no warning signs, but a 124,000-mile 2010 chassis deserves hands-on scrutiny before purchase.
