2009 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · KR09 TEY

The roadworthiness of this vehicle remains questionable due to an inconsistent history of failures despite clean passes. The most recent test on 24 January 2023 at 176,625 miles resulted in a failure with no specific defects recorded, which suggests a significant anomaly in the reporting or a critical failure that was not addressed. Given that over three years have passed since this last recorded test, the vehicle is currently operating without a valid MOT, indicating a lapse in recent oversight and a breakdown in proactive maintenance patterns. The vehicle has covered 176,625 miles over 17 years, averaging approximately 10,390 miles per annum. This usage profile aligns with typical national averages for a family hatchback of this age, yet the data shows a notable jump of 20,000 miles accumulated between January 2021 and January 2022. This period of high usage puts considerable strain on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking components. The gap between the 2023 failure and the current 2026 date suggests the car may have been used sporadically or neglected until failure occurred rather than following regular service intervals. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity and suspension system, as the high mileage increases the likelihood of corrosion on the rear subframe and exhaust mounting. The history shows multiple failures without recorded defects, which often points to intermittent mechanical issues or emissions-related faults that were not fully documented. Particular attention should be paid to the brake calipers for signs of binding or perished rubber and the condition of the coil springs, which frequently fail on Pe of this era. Without a recent pass certificate, the current state of these safety-critical components remains unknown and high-risk.
