2012 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · GL61 OEF

The vehicle is currently in a stable condition regarding its roadworthiness, having passed its most recent MOT on 21 October 2025 at 152,585 miles with no defects recorded. This clean result follows a consistent pattern of passing tests without any flagged advisories or failures for structural or mechanical defects. The absence of noted faults in the last three years suggests a vehicle that is being maintained to a standard sufficient for legal road use. The mileage is typical for a 2012 model, averaging roughly 10,899 miles per year. The record shows a steady increase in usage, moving from 130,264 miles in November 2023 to 152,585 miles by October 2025. This indicates the car has remained in active use rather than sitting idle, which generally helps prevent seals from perishing and brakes from seizing. While the MOT history is remarkably clean, the record shows two instances where the car failed and passed on the same day, specifically on 13 November 2023 and 14 September 2024. These rapid turnarounds often point to minor consumable failures, such as blown bulbs or wiper blades, which the owner rectified immediately. Because the tester recorded no specific defects in the final pass reports, there is no evidence of recurring systemic issues with the suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on age-related wear that MOT tests often overlook. At 152,585 miles, the drivetrain and suspension components will have significant wear regardless of the clean test sheets. Check for oil leaks around the engine bay and inspect the underside for surface corrosion on the chassis. Verifying the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements is essential, as these are critical maintenance items not typically flagged on an MOT unless they cause an immediate failure.
