2010 Peugeot 308 2.0L Diesel · KU10 ACX

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 31 March 2026 at 81,909 miles passed without any defects, confirming it remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards. The consistent pass history over the past two years—with no advisories or failures—indicates a stable maintenance trend, though the duplicate entry for April 2024 (both pass and fail at identical mileage) suggests a possible administrative error rather than mechanical recurrence. The absence of recurring faults in the last three tests implies that major systems—brakes, suspension, exhaust, and structural integrity—have not been compromised by wear or neglect. However, the lack of advisories in recent tests does not preclude hidden issues, particularly in components like suspension bushes or coil springs, which often fail without immediate MOT failure but degrade over time. The recorded mileage of 81,909 miles over 16 years equates to approximately 5,100 miles annually, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. This suggests either very light usage, prolonged periods of storage, or potential odometer tampering, though the latter cannot be confirmed without further evidence. The gaps between tests—consistently around 12 months—align with the vehicle’s age, but the sharp drop from 70,465 to 64,663 miles between March 2023 and April 2024 (a 5,802-mile jump in under a year) stands out as anomalous. Without additional context, this spike could indicate either a sudden increase in usage or an error in mileage reporting. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common failure points in vehicles of this age and mileage. The brakes, while not flagged in recent tests, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. Corrosion at wheel arches, sills, and underbody should also be examined, as this is a critical failure risk for pre-2015 models. The absence of advisories in the last two tests does not rule out minor wear in consumables like brake pads or tyres, which may have been replaced between tests but could now be approaching their limits. A pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is strongly advised to verify the structural soundness of the chassis and the condition of non-MOT-tested elements.
