2009 Peugeot 308 1.6L Petrol · FN59 LCL

The 2009 Peugeot 308 presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no recorded defects across its three most recent MOT tests. The latest examination on 27 March 2024 at 46,040 miles returned a clean pass with no advisories, matching the fault-free results from 1 April 2023 at 41,681 miles and 6 December 2021 at 38,315 miles. The maintenance record shows no worsening or recurring mechanical faults requiring corrective action. The mileage pattern reflects exceptionally light use for a seventeen-year-old vehicle. Recorded distance rose from 38,315 miles in December 2021 to 41,681 miles by April 2023, then to 46,040 miles by March 2024, averaging roughly 2,700 miles per year. A gap exists between the December 2021 and April 2023 tests spanning over fifteen months, yet the low annual accumulation suggests gentle commuting or prolonged static periods rather than neglected high-mileage abuse. The sparse, clean history offers no evidence of deferred consumable replacement or structural neglect. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the vehicle's age and likely extended standing periods that accelerate rubber perishing and surface rust. Brake discs and calipers merit checks for binding or pitting after low-use storage, despite no tester flags in the record. Verify the documented mileages against service stamps and V5C history, as the clean MOT trail provides no insight into intermediate maintenance. The absence of advisories implies prior owners addressed issues pre-test, but component fatigue from age remains invisible without hands-on assessment.
