2018 Peugeot 308 1.2L Petrol · DA18 LJC

The Peugeot 308 presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 24 March 2026 at 87,859 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across its recorded history. The DVSA file shows no defects, advisories, or mechanical faults at any stage. A failed test logged on the same date as the pass, with no defects recorded, points to an administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical concern. Annual mileage has averaged close to 11,000 miles, matching typical use for an eight-year-old car. The records chart steady accumulation: 28,629 miles at the March 2023 test, 47,960 by March 2024, 66,734 by March 2025, and 87,859 by March 2026. No standing periods or sudden jumps appear. The clean sheet at every examination suggests the previous owners kept on top of consumables and avoided letting wear items lapse. With no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion across five tests, the underlying structure and running gear show no flagged deterioration. A buyer should still confirm in person that the March 2026 failure was purely clerical, checking the V5C and test certificate. A visual check of tyre tread, exhaust emissions, and underbody for structural rust remains sensible, though the record gives no cause to expect hidden defects.
