2012 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · FH12 WOM

The 2012 Peugeot 308 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 August 2025 at 122,727 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 28 August 2024 at 109,090 miles confirms no outstanding advisories have carried through. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical pattern across the available five-year record. Mileage sits at a typical level for a fourteen-year-old car, averaging roughly 8,766 miles per year. The record charts 83,642 miles in August 2022, 96,177 in September 2023, and 109,090 in August 2024, before reaching 122,727 by August 2025. Annual accumulation held steady near 12,000 to 13,000 miles, with no standing gaps or sudden surges that would hint at neglected storage or harsh fleet use. One anomaly warrants scrutiny. The test on 27 August 2024 at 109,090 miles produced a fail with no defects listed, immediately followed by a pass on 28 August 2024 at identical mileage. This suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, but the buyer should confirm with the selling garage what triggered the failure and clearance. Given the clean advisory history, no suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion items were flagged. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody rust, as MOT cleanliness at this age does not preclude hidden deterioration. Verify the 2024 fail paperwork and check consumables such as tyres and wiper blades for age-related perishing before purchase.
