2018 Peugeot 308 1.2L Petrol · KM68 ADU

The 2018 Peugeot 308 has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across five consecutive annual tests, most recently passing on 2025-09-09 at 39,529 miles. This consistency suggests the vehicle has been subjected to either diligent maintenance or minimal stress, with no evidence of recurring mechanical failures. The absence of advisories or warnings in any test further reinforces that no critical components—such as suspension bushes, coil springs, or binding calipers—have been overlooked. However, the lack of recorded defects does not preclude wear items like brake pads, tyres, or wiper blades from requiring inspection, as these are not MOT-tested but are essential for safe operation. The recorded mileage of 39,529 miles over eight years indicates an average of approximately 4,941 miles annually, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. This pattern could imply either very light usage, prolonged periods of storage, or a combination of both. There are no abrupt jumps in mileage between tests, and the intervals between each MOT are standard, suggesting no extended periods where the vehicle may have accumulated hidden wear. The steady progression of mileage without spikes also reduces the likelihood of sudden high-load stress on components like the drivetrain or suspension. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear consumables not covered by the test, such as the brake pads and discs for uneven wear or corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has spent time in wet or coastal environments. The tyres, though not flagged in MOTs, should be checked for uneven tread depth or signs of age-related cracking, as failing twice on tread depth in prior records would have been a concern. The suspension should be assessed for softness or clunks, indicating worn bushes or dampers, while the exhaust system should be inspected for leaks or excessive rust, especially if the vehicle has been stored outdoors. Finally, the underbody and wheel arches should be scrutinised for corrosion, as this is often a silent threat to structural integrity over time.
