2017 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · KS17 GCY

The 2017 Peugeot 308 presents a stable and consistently clean roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT, conducted on 17 September 2025 at 103,247 miles, passed with zero defects, advisories, or failures. This outcome is not an isolated result. It caps a four-year run of consecutive clean passes dating back to September 2022, indicating a maintenance trend that is firmly stable and suggests the vehicle has been kept in good mechanical order through to its current age. The mileage accumulation is steady and unremarkable, which is a positive sign for a vehicle of this age. Between the September 2023 test at 84,933 miles and the September 2024 test at 92,986 miles, the car covered 8,053 miles. The following year, from September 2024 to September 2025, it added 10,261 miles, showing a slight uptick in use but remaining well within the typical annual range for a nine-year-old car. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden drops in recorded mileage that would suggest long periods of disuse or a rolled-back odometer. The record is sparse in the best possible sense, with no defects to analyse. A buyer should still approach the physical inspection with a clear focus on the components that typically deteriorate on a family hatchback of this age and mileage. At over 103,000 miles, the front and rear suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers are well into their service life and should be checked for play, leaks, or corrosion. The braking system, particularly the rear calipers, deserves close attention given the common issue of binding handbrake mechanisms on this model. Inspect the inner edges of all four tyres for uneven wear, which would point to tracking or suspension geometry issues not severe enough to trigger an MOT failure but still indicative of wear. The vehicle's structural integrity, especially around the subframes, sills, and inner wing arches, should be examined for corrosion, as the MOT only assesses the surface. The exhaust system and its mounting points should be checked for condition, given the mileage. The clean MOT history is a strong indicator of diligent upkeep, but it is not a substitute for a thorough pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic.
