2008 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · FN58 KYT

The Peugeot 308 passed its most recent MOT on 24 December 2021 at 81,522 miles with no defects recorded, giving a clean roadworthiness status at that point. The maintenance trend shown by the record is stable, though the dataset is extremely sparse with only two entries seven days apart. No worsening or recurring fault pattern emerges from the official history. The vehicle is an 18-year-old 2008 model showing 81,522 miles, equating to roughly 4,529 miles per year. This is low for its age. The record shows a tight cluster: a failure on 17 December 2021 at 81,475 miles followed by a pass at 81,522 miles on 24 December 2021, a gain of just 47 miles. The failure carried no recorded defects, which suggests an administrative or unlogged issue rather than mechanical fault. Outside this week, the history is silent, leaving roughly fourteen years unaccounted for. A buyer should treat the missing MOT years as a gap in verifiable care. Low mileage with long standing periods often accelerates perishable component degradation such as suspension bushes, brake caliper binding, and tyre sidewall cracking even when the car looks unused. The 308 platform is prone to rear beam corrosion and worn coil springs. Given the 2021 pass is now over four years old relative to today's date, the test offers no current assurance. Inspect structural integrity underneath, check brake discs for corrosion from inactivity, and verify exhaust emissions and tyre condition before any purchase. The clean sheet in December 2021 does not offset the absence of recent evidence.
