2008 Peugeot 308 1.6L Petrol · FN08 OPK

The 2008 Peugeot 308 passed its most recent MOT on 31 August 2022 at 70,410 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend across the supplied history. The vehicle carries a clean test record on its two passes and shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults, though the lone failure five days earlier at 70,409 miles listed no defects, pointing to an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a worn component. Recorded mileage sits at 70,410 against an eighteen-year lifespan, averaging roughly 3,912 miles per year and marking this as a low-use example. The jump from 63,942 miles at the August 2021 pass to 70,409 miles by August 2022 adds only 6,467 miles in twelve months, consistent with light private running. The sparse three-entry record shows no rapid accumulation or standing gaps beyond the quiet annual pattern, and the near-identical figures at the 2022 tests suggest the car was barely driven in that week. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points, as the MOT record omits any advisory detail that might mask early rot on a Peugeot of this era. Check suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for age-related hardening or pitting given the low mileage and likely long idle periods that accelerate rubber perishing and surface rust. Verify the August 2022 failure reason with DVSA, since a no-defect fail on a 70,409-mile test is unusual and may reflect a documentation or identification issue rather than roadworthiness. Otherwise the clean pass one week later supports a sound baseline, provided a current test is sought given the record is now nearly four years old relative to today.
