2012 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · GY12 WTZ

The vehicle presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistent string of pass certificates over the last four years. The most recent MOT conducted on 31 October 2025 at 85,854 miles resulted in a clean pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that the current owner has maintained the vehicle to a high standard, as the history shows no recurring mechanical failures or persistent component degradation. The annual mileage accumulation remains remarkably consistent, averaging approximately 3,800 to 4,000 miles per year since 2022. This usage pattern is well below the national average for a vehicle of this age, suggesting the car has been used primarily for short-distance commuting or light local duty. The lack of significant mileage spikes or long periods of inactivity suggests the vehicle has been kept in regular operation, which generally helps prevent the premature seizure of brake calipers and the degradation of rubber seals often seen in long-term storage. While the MOT record is exceptionally clean, a physical inspection should focus on components that age by time rather than mileage. You must inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe mounts for surface corrosion, as these items are prone to degradation on a 14-year-old Peugeot regardless of low usage. Check the brake discs for signs of pitting or uneven wear, as light use can sometimes lead to corrosion on the friction surfaces. Given the absence of flagged defects in the history, the primary risk remains the condition of consumable items like tyres and the integrity of the exhaust system, which should be verified during a test drive to ensure no hidden leaks or vibrations exist.
