2008 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · FM57 LTF

The 2008 Peugeot 308 presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent test. The tester passed the vehicle on 18 March 2023 at 125,142 miles with no defects recorded, indicating the car entered its current lay-up in sound mechanical condition. The maintenance trend shows no worsening faults across the available history. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for an eighteen-year-old vehicle. The record shows 114,718 miles on 29 January 2022 and 125,142 miles at the final test on 18 March 2023, giving roughly 10,400 miles over that fourteen-month span and an overall average near 6,950 miles per year. A five-week gap appears between the failed and passed 2022 entries at identical mileage, but the tester logged no defects on either, so the failure cause is undocumented in the supplied data. The history is sparse and clean beyond that anomaly. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural corrosion and suspension bushes given the car's age and the elapsed time since the last test. The 2023 pass with no advisories means worn brake discs, binding calipers, or exhaust emissions issues were not flagged, yet three years of standing can degrade tyres, seizing handbrake mechanisms, and promote underbody rust. Verify the 2022 failure reason through full DVSA documentation before purchase, as the missing defect detail prevents a complete risk assessment.
