2014 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · FG64 JMV

The Peugeot 308 passed its most recent MOT on 9 November 2021 at 53,698 miles with no defects recorded, leaving the vehicle's maintenance trend untested for nearly five years. The record shows a stable but stale status; the single pass gives no evidence of worsening faults, yet the absence of any test since 2021 means current roadworthiness cannot be confirmed from this data alone. The odometer climbed only eight miles between the failed test on 15 October 2021 and the pass on 9 November 2021, both at roughly 53,690 to 53,698 miles. Across twelve years the car covered about 53,700 miles, an average of 4,475 miles per year. Such low use suggests extended standing periods, which commonly accelerate rubber perishing, brake seizing, and underbody corrosion even when annual mileage stays minimal. The history is sparse, with just two entries and no advisories logged. A buyer must commission a fresh MOT or independent inspection before purchase. The 15 October 2021 failure carries no listed defect, so the reason remains unknown; the tester may have flagged a documentation or emissions issue later cleared. Given the long idle gap since that pass, examine suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for binding after storage. Check structural integrity beneath the sills and subframes for corrosion, and inspect tyres for sidewall cracking from age rather than wear. The clean 2021 record implies prior owners addressed faults when tested, but the four-year silence since demands verification of consumables and mechanical condition today.
