Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Given the very low annual mileage for a diesel engine, buyers should check for evidence of short-trip usage, which can occasionally impact Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) efficiency. Review the service history to ensure oil changes were performed at regular intervals regardless of the low mileage, as diesel lubricants can degrade over time.
Verify that the tyre replacements and CV boot repair noted in the 2023 MOT were completed with quality parts. Use the vehicle's age as a point of negotiation, ensuring that rubber components and belts have been inspected despite the low odometer reading.
The 1560cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency, typically offering competitive fuel economy for both urban and motorway driving. Tax and insurance costs for this 2010 model are generally moderate, falling into mid-range brackets for a hatchback of this era.
Estimated annual costs will be kept relatively low due to the vehicle's low annual mileage, though maintenance costs may be slightly higher if the car has spent long periods stationary. Total annual expenditure is expected to be modest.
Specifically inspect the CV boots and drive shafts, as a split boot caused a failure in November 2023; ensure the repair is secure. Check the condition and tread depth of all tyres, particularly the offside front, as tyre wear is a common failure point for the 308 and was a recorded issue for this vehicle in 2023.
Additionally, check the headlamps and the exhaust system for corrosion or faults, as these are among the top failure reasons for this model based on aggregate data from over 150,000 vehicles.
This red Peugeot 308 1.6 Diesel has covered just 40,445 miles since January 2010, which is significantly below the model average. Its MOT history is largely positive, with only one failure recorded in 2023. The most recent tests in 2024 and 2025 were passed without any defects recorded.
The Peugeot 308 maintains a respectable average MOT pass rate of 76.6% across a large sample size of over 156,000 vehicles.
