2012 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · DU62 FJF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent MOT test conducted on 23 August 2021 at 56,680 miles resulted in no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates that the car was maintained to a functional standard up to that point in time, showing no signs of mechanical neglect or structural failure during the formal DVSA testing process. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per annum. Between August 2017 and August 2021, the car covered only 7,554 miles, moving from 49,126 to 56,680 miles. This low usage suggests the vehicle was likely used for short trips or kept, which reduces wear on the drivetrain and braking system. However, such low annual mileage can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown that a standard MOT does not fully detect. Since the last recorded test is now five years old, a buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection to identify issues developed during this long interval. Focus should be placed on the condition of suspension bushes, perished rubber hoses, and potential corrosion on the brake discs which often occurs when vehicles sit stationary. Check the tyres for surface cracking and verify the integrity of the chassis, as low-mile cars often hide age-related rust despite high tread depth.
