2009 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · GF59 AEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by five consecutive clean MOT passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 7 October 2025 at 103,950 miles returned no defects or advisories. This consistency suggests that the previous owners maintained the vehicle to a high standard, preventing the accumulation of mechanical faults or structural corrosion that typically plague French cars of this age and mileage. The mileage pattern remains consistent with low-to-moderate annual usage, averaging approximately 6,115 miles per year. Between October 2021 and October 2025, the car covered 21,595 miles, showing a steady and predictable consumption rate without long periods of neglect or sudden heavy strain. The roughly 6,000 miles driven between annual tests—such as the 6,351-mile gap between the two most recent tests——indicate a regular driving routine which generally reduces the risk of dry-related failures in drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage counterparts. While the digital record is encouraging, an in-person inspection should focus on age-related degradation that an MOT test does not always capture. A buyer should check the rubber components, specifically suspension bushes and control arm boots for cracking, as these can perish over seventeen years regardless of low mileage. The buyer should also inspect the brake discs for pitting and check the exhaust system for early signs of structural surface rust, as these are common points of failure on the older Peugeot 308 platform.
