2014 Peugeot 308 1.6L Petrol · KW14 RVL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 17 September 2025 at 80,475 miles. While the history shows a consistent record of annual testing, the recurring pattern of immediate failures followed by passes suggests a reactive maintenance approach. In both 2024 and 2025, the car failed the test on the day of presentation but passed shortly after. This indicates that previous owners only addressed mechanical issues when necessary to meet legal roadworthiness standards, rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. Between September 2023 at 70,677 miles and September 2024 at 76,152 miles, the car covered 5,475 miles, followed by another 4,323 miles in the subsequent year. This low annual mileage suggests light use, which typically preserves the drivetrain components and engine internals, but it also increases the risk of corrosion and rubber-based degradation if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components that likely triggered the recent pre-test failures. Since the record shows no specific defects on the pass certificates, the failures likely related to minor consumable items such as bulbs, wiper blades, or slight tyre depth issues. Given the age of the Peugeot, a thorough inspection of the underbody for structural rust and perished suspension bushes is essential, as low mileage does not prevent environmental corrosion. Check the brake discs for surface pitting and seized calipers, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from brake oxidation when the braking system is not used vigorously regularly.
