2010 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · FP60 EYK

As a 1.6L diesel, this Peugeot 308 is likely to offer decent fuel economy for long-distance driving, though actual figures will depend on driving style. It will fall into a standard insurance group for its age and engine size, and tax bands for 2010 models vary based on CO2 emissions.

Maintenance costs may be higher than average for this model due to the recurring nature of the suspension and braking issues seen in the MOT records. You should budget for more frequent replacements of consumables like tyres, brake discs, and CV boots. An estimated annual running cost is roughly £1,100-£1,400, depending on mileage and repair needs.

A thorough inspection of the underside is essential. The MOT history shows a persistent issue with rear axle and sub-frame corrosion from 2024 through to 2026. You must check if this corrosion is merely surface-level or if it has progressed to a point that threatens structural integrity.

Secondly, inspect the drive shafts and CV boots; the 2024 and 2026 tests both highlighted 'severely deteriorated' boots. Finally, test the braking system thoroughly, as the most recent MOT indicated the rear service brake efficiency was borderline. Check the condition of the tyres, as the 2026 record noted they were worn close to the legal limit on both front and rear.
