2016 Peugeot 308 Active HDI Blue S/S 1.6L Diesel · IXZ 7276

The vehicle presents a technically roadworthy status, showing a stable maintenance trend despite its high mileage. The most recent test on 27 July 2025 at 173,264 miles passed with no recorded defects, following a curious failure result just eight days prior at 173,195 miles. Because the failure record lists no defects, this suggests an administrative error or a minor issue immediately rectified, leaving the vehicle with a clean certificate for the last several years. The mileage pattern indicates consistent and heavy usage, averaging approximately 17,300 miles per year over the last four years recorded. Between April 2022 and May 2023, the car covered 27,207 miles, while a further 26,552 miles were logged between May 2023 and July 2024. This rapid accumulation suggests the vehicle likely performs long-distance motorway mileage, which typically reduces wear on clutch-related components but places significant strain on drivetrain components and suspension bushings. The intervals between tests are regular, suggesting a disciplined approach to annual inspections. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components most susceptible to high-mileage wear. Given the 173,000-mile mark, check the integrity of the suspension arms, shock absorbers, and coil springs for signs of premature fatigue. The braking system should be evaluated for thin discs or binding calipers, as high mileage often pushes these toward the end of their service life. While the MOT record shows no structural failures, a close look at the chassis for corrosion on sills is necessary to ensure the high annual use has not compromised the structural integrity of the Peugeot.
