2008 Peugeot 308 1.6L Petrol · DE08 MDO

The Peugeot 308 presents as roadworthy following the November 2025 test at 63,056 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history. The November 2025 pass came on the same day as a failed attempt at identical mileage, though the tester logged no defects on either entry, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in November 2024 at 60,515 miles and October 2023 at 57,767 miles show the same pass-fail pairing with zero defects noted, indicating a consistent clean mechanical record over the last three years. The odometer shows 63,056 miles against an 18-year life, averaging just 3,503 miles per year. The car gained 2,748 miles between the October 2023 test and November 2024 examination, then only 2,541 miles to November 2025. This low annual use points to light running or extended standing periods. The sparse MOT data shows no rapid accumulation or suspicious gaps, but the repeated same-day fail-pass cycles at 2024 and 2025 tests warrant clarification from the selling party as to their cause. A buyer should physically verify the reason behind the four failed entries that carried no recorded defects. The DVSA system logged failures at 60,515 miles on 2024-11-06 and 63,056 miles on 2025-11-03 with no advisories, which is irregular. Inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers for hidden corrosion or wear that a skipped proper test might miss. Given the low mileage and clean defect history, structural integrity appears sound on paper. Confirm there is no underlying rust at sills or subframes from prolonged inactivity. Check tyre sidewalls for perishing from standing, and test the braking system for any binding after the car's limited recent use.
