2010 Peugeot 308 1.4L Petrol · GD59 JFV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend over the recent years. The most recent test on 11 June 2025 at 73,967 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a technical failure just two days prior at 73,918 miles. Because the failure recorded no specific defects, it likely represented an administrative error or a minor non-presentation issue that was rectified immediately before the re-test, rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between November 2021 and May 2023, where the car covered only 1,074 miles. Since then, the usage has increased slightly, covering 12,500 miles in the four years leading up to the 2025 test. This low annual mileage suggests the vehicle has likely sat stationary for extended periods, which can sometimes lead to rubber-component degradation or brake fluid contamination despite the low mechanical wear. Given the clean MOT history devoid of recurring mechanical advisories, a physical inspection should focus on components prone to age-related decay rather than mileage. A buyer should check for cracking in suspension bushes and perished hoses, which are common when vehicles are driven infrequently. The brake discs should be examined for surface pitting or seized calipers, as low-use cars often suffer from light corrosion. Verifying the structural integrity of the sills and wheel arches remains essential to ensure that the age has not resulted in hidden corrosion despite the lack of recorded failures.
