2018 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · DX18 AVL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a clean pass in its most recent inspection on 19 September 2025 at 112,569 miles. This result indicates that any mechanical or safety issues previously identified have been addressed. The transition from a failure in early September 2024 to consecutive clean passes in late 2024 and 2025 suggests the owner is actively maintaining the vehicle to meet minimum legal safety standards. The mileage profile reflects high usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 14,000 miles per year. A significant period of activity occurred between the September 2024 and September 2025 tests, where the car covered 9,044 miles in just twelve months. This rate of accumulation places consistent stress on wear-related components such as the suspension system and braking hardware. The failure on 03 September 2024 at 103,516 miles occurred just three weeks before a subsequent successful test, suggesting a minor defect was quickly rectified to pass the retest. A physical inspection should focus on the condition of the components most susceptible to high-mileage motorway driving. Given the recorded distance, a buyer should check for perished suspension bushes and signs of fatigue in the coil springs. The brake discs and pads should also be examined for thinning or signs of binding, as high mileage often accelerates wear on these consumables. While the MOT record shows no structural corrosion, checking the chassis for surface rust remains necessary for a vehicle of this age.
