2012 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · FG62 EYO

The 2012 Peugeot 308 presents a stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 26 September 2024 at 116,994 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the preceding four annual tests from August 2021 through September 2024 also passed cleanly. The maintenance trend is steady with no worsening faults or recurring advisories across the available history. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,357 miles per year. The record shows 104,869 miles on 20 August 2021, rising to 109,326 by 17 August 2022, 115,120 on 29 August 2023, and 116,994 on 26 September 2024. The annual increments of around 4,000 to 6,000 miles reflect light-to-moderate use with no rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps. The single failed entry on 20 August 2021 at 104,869 miles carries no recorded defects, indicating an administrative or unlogged reason rather than a mechanical fault. Given the clean test sequence, the DVSA record alone raises no specific structural or mechanical concerns such as corroded suspension arms, worn brake discs, or exhaust leaks. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of common Peugeot 308 weak points not always caught in MOT checks. These include front suspension top mounts, rear axle torsion bar corrosion, and condition of coil springs and bushes after fourteen years of service. The absence of advisories across four years suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current, though low annual mileage can mask perished rubber components and intermittent binding calipers. Verify service history and inspect underside structural integrity before purchase.
