2008 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · GP08 DUY

The 2025‑08‑05 MOT at 145,170 miles confirms the Peugeot 308 remains road‑worthy, with only minor defects recorded. The August test follows a July 2025 failure that listed the same lamp issue, oil leak and thin brake pads, yet the vehicle passed without any new major faults, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Mileage has risen from 119,702 miles in June 2023 to 145,170 miles in August 2025, an average of roughly 13,200 miles per year, higher than the typical 8,000 miles per annum for a vehicle of this age. The record shows yearly testing with no long gaps, but the jump from 136,266 miles on 30 July 2024 to 145,155 miles on 25 July 2025 represents about 9,000 miles accumulated in a single year. Recurring observations include near‑side and off‑side rear brake pads worn thin, an oil leak noted in 2025 and 2024, damaged nearside lower sill, and tyres worn close to the legal limit on multiple occasions. Early MOTs also recorded integral body deformation, though structural rigidity was reported as not significantly reduced, suggesting the chassis remains sound but should be examined for rust and suspension wear. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, verify brake disc and caliper integrity, measure pad thickness, locate the source of the oil leak, examine the sill for corrosion, assess tyre tread and side‑wall condition, and confirm that lamp alignment and headlamp aim meet specifications; any evidence of structural rust or compromised rigidity warrants particular attention.
