2021 Peugeot 308 1.5L Diesel · KP21 FXL

The 2021 Peugeot 308 presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a fully clean MOT pass on 25 February 2026 at 52,170 miles with zero defects recorded. That result is the most recent entry, sitting just under four months before today's date of 18 June 2026, so the vehicle's roadworthiness certification is current and highly relevant. The record shows a clear resolution of earlier minor faults rather than any worsening pattern. The mileage progression is consistent and unremarkable for a five-year-old vehicle. The car covered 8,207 miles between the March 2024 test at 35,799 miles and the February 2025 test at 43,963 miles, then added a further 8,207 miles by the February 2026 test at 52,170 miles. That steady annual rate of roughly 10,400 miles suggests regular daily use rather than prolonged standing or unusually high motorway accumulation. No suspicious gaps or sudden jumps appear in the data. The only recurring advisory involved the nearside rear outer tyre, flagged as slightly damaged in the February 2025 test. That defect did not reappear in the 2026 pass, indicating the tyre was replaced or repaired. The February 2025 failure also included a non-functioning nearside front headlamp on dipped beam, a straightforward bulb or wiring issue that was clearly rectified before the retest on the same day. Neither fault points to underlying structural or mechanical concern. A buyer should still inspect the nearside rear tyre sidewall in person for any residual damage or uneven wear, and verify both headlamp aim and function across all beam settings. Beyond those items, the clean 2026 result and consistent mileage pattern suggest no immediate red flags, though a test drive over rough surfaces will confirm the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers remain free of play or noise given the car has now passed 52,000 miles.
