2016 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · JK02 ROE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having successfully cleared its most recent MOT on 10 June 2025 at 120,197 miles. While the record shows two consecutive years of initial test failures followed by immediate passes within days, the absence of recorded defects suggests these failures were likely administrative or related to minor, easily rectified issues rather than deep-seated mechanical failure. The current status indicates a vehicle that has been maintained to a functional standard, with no outstanding advisories currently threatening its roadworthy condition. The recorded mileage of 120,197 miles over a ten-year period aligns with an average annual usage of approximately 12,000 miles. This consistent accumulation pattern indicates the car has been used primarily for regular commuting or long-distance travel rather than infrequent, short-trip cycles that often cause premature engine sludge or exhaust corrosion. The steady increase from 97,966 miles in June 2023 to the current figure confirms the vehicle has remained in active service, avoiding the risks associated with long-term storage such as seized calipers or degraded rubber seals. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components that typically reach the end of their service life at this mileage. Although the MOT history is clean, verify the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these parts are prone to fatigue on high-mileage vehicles of this age. Check the brake discs for excessive pitting or uneven wear patterns that might not have triggered a failure during the test but could require replacement in the near future. Given the Peugeot 308 platform, confirm the service history for the timing belt and water pump, as these critical items are often neglected despite passing annual safety inspections.
