2009 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · KV09 UJB

The Peugeot 308 passed its most recent MOT on 20 May 2022 at 108,237 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy at that point. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the record shows two failed tests on the preceding days in 2021 and 2022 where the DVSA logged no defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical faults. No advisories or wear items appear across the five-year span reviewed. The mileage rose from 98,170 in July 2020 to 102,363 by July 2021, then held at 108,237 through May 2022. That averages near 6,367 miles per year against the car's 17-year life, a typical figure for the age. The gap between the July 2021 pass and May 2022 test is under a year, and the identical 108,237 reading on both the failed and passed 2022 entries suggests the odometer was not advanced between those dates. Records are sparse and clean, with no corrosion, brake, suspension, or emission concerns noted by any tester. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase. The absence of advisories does not rule out latent wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs after four years of unrecorded use since the last test. Standing time implied by the static 2021 to 2022 mileage can stiffen calipers and promote underbody corrosion unseen by the MOT regime. Given the vehicle's age and the stale test history relative to today's date in July 2026, treat the 2022 pass as expired and out of date. Confirm structural integrity, exhaust condition, and tyre sidewall cracking before any road use, as the official record offers no cover for defects developed since mid-2022.
