2011 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · FP11 DHO

The 2011 Peugeot 308 presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 25 April 2025 at 148,201 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable. Prior to this, the vehicle cleared the 16 April 2024 test at 140,265 miles cleanly, though that same date shows a failed attempt with no defects logged, a duplicate administrative entry rather than a mechanical fault. The same pattern occurred on 15 to 16 March 2023 at 123,549 miles, where a failed record with no defects preceded the pass. These anomalies suggest clerical retries at the testing station, not recurring wear issues. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a fifteen-year-old vehicle. The record shows 123,549 miles in March 2023, rising to 140,265 by April 2024, then 148,201 by April 2025. That equates to roughly 16,700 miles over two years, or about 8,350 annually, slightly under the 9,880 per year average implied by the total. No large gaps or sudden accumulation appear between tests. The sparse, clean history across three years gives little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear, as the MOT record does not capture gradual degradation between annual tests. At 148,201 miles, expect original drivetrain mounts and exhaust hangers to show age-related fatigue. Check subframe and sill structure for corrosion, a common failure point on this Peugeot platform once moisture ingress begins. The absence of advisories in every submission means the tester logged no minor items such as tyre tread margins or wiper condition. Verify in person that tyres, brakes, and underbody integrity match the clean paper trail before purchase.
