2010 Peugeot 308 1.6L Petrol · GL10 WDF

The vehicle presents a questionable roadworthiness status due to a significant four-year lapse in official testing. While the most recent MOT recorded on 3 May 2022 at 202,190 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, the car has not undergone an inspection since that date. This gap means the current mechanical state, structural integrity, and safety-critical components are entirely unknown. The maintenance trend appears stable leading up to the final test, but the lack of recent data renders the current condition high-risk. The mileage history reveals an extreme period of usage between the last recorded tests. Between April 2021 at 122,503 miles and May 2022 at 202,190 miles, the vehicle covered 79,687 miles in just thirteen months. This rate of accumulation exceeding 70,000 miles per year far exceeds the national average and places immense stress on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking system. The total distance of over 200,000 miles on a sixteen-year-old Peugeot indicates the vehicle has operated under heavy duty conditions. A physical inspection must prioritise the components most susceptible to high-mileage wear. The buyer should check for perished suspension bushes, worn shock absorbers, and degraded coil springs which likely suffered during the rapid usage. Given the mileage, the braking system requires an audit for binding calipers, thin discs, and leaking hoses. Because the vehicle has sat without a test for four years, a thorough check for underbody corrosion on the chassis and exhaust is essential to ensure no structural decay has occurred since the 2022 pass.
