2010 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · FH10 UBB

The 2010 Peugeot 308 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 31 January 2025 at 101,175 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run that began after an isolated failure in early 2023. Mileage accumulation is modest for a sixteen-year-old vehicle. The record shows 95,490 miles at the January 2022 test, rising to 97,523 miles by February 2023 and 101,175 miles by January 2025. That equates to roughly 2,000 miles per year across the last three tests, well below the typical 6,300-mile annual average. The sparse five-entry history shows no rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps, though the January 2023 failure at 97,500 miles carries no listed defect, suggesting an administrative or unrecorded minor issue rather than mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural corrosion and suspension bushes given the vehicle's age and low annual use, as standing periods accelerate underbody rust and perished rubber components. The clean advisory record offers no flagged wear on brake discs, coil springs, or exhaust emissions, but the lack of recorded advisories across four passes means consumable condition remains unverified by the tester. The January 2023 failure with no defects logged warrants a check of the original test refusal reason through DVSA channels before purchase. Otherwise, the ownership pattern implies basic upkeep was maintained, with no recurring brake binding, tyre tread, or welding defects to suggest deferred mechanical care.
