2011 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · GU61 HTG

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 22 September 2025 at 59,374 miles with no recorded defects. This follows a clean pass in September 2023, despite a momentary failure in the same month in 2024. The lack of advisories in the last two tests suggests that the previous owner was proactive in addressing mechanical issues before they escalated into recurring failures or structural concerns. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 2011 registration, averaging only approximately 4,000 miles per year. Between September 2022 and September 2025, the car covered 5,847 miles, indicating consistent but short-distance use rather than high-intensity wear from long-distance motorway travel. This low usage typically results in less mechanical strain on the drivetrain and engine components, though the long periods of standing can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components and fluid chemistry which is not always fully captured by a standard MOT test. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on components that suffer from age rather than mileage. Examine the suspension bushes, coil springs, and tyre sidewalls for cracking or perish rot, as low-use vehicles often sit for extended periods. Check brake discs for corrosion and binding calipers, as infrequent use can cause these components to seize. While the MOT history is clean, a physical check of the underbody for structural rust is necessary to ensure the integrity of the older Peugeot chassis remains sound despite its fifteen years.
