2014 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · LG14 XKS

The 2014 Peugeot 308 has maintained a clean MOT history since its most recent test on 18 February 2026, with no defects recorded at 152,039 miles. This suggests the vehicle has passed all mandatory checks for emissions, brakes, steering, suspension, and structural integrity without fail. The absence of advisories or repeated failures indicates no recurring mechanical issues have been formally noted by the tester, though this does not preclude hidden wear or deferred maintenance. The most recent test was conducted just five months ago, which is well within the 12-month MOT validity period and provides a relatively up-to-date baseline for roadworthiness. The recorded mileage of 152,039 miles over approximately 12 years—averaging around 12,700 miles annually—is significantly higher than the UK average for a vehicle of this age. This suggests either consistent heavy use or prolonged periods of inactivity followed by rapid mileage accumulation. Notably, there is a 12,000-mile gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests, followed by a 10,000-mile jump between the 2024 failure and pass on the same day, which may indicate either a temporary storage period or a sudden increase in usage. The lack of defects across all tests implies that, despite the mileage, the vehicle has not exhibited obvious signs of neglect in critical areas. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear components that are not fully covered by the test. The suspension—particularly the rear bushes and coil springs—should be checked for excessive play or corrosion, as these are common points of failure in high-mileage vehicles. Brake discs and pads, while not explicitly failed, warrant inspection for uneven wear or binding calipers, which could indicate past issues not caught by the MOT. The exhaust system should be examined for rust or leaks, especially around joints and mounts, while the underbody should be scrutinised for corrosion, particularly around the sills and wheel arches, which can compromise structural integrity over time. The tyres, though not recorded in the MOT, should be assessed for tread depth and uneven wear, as the absence of failures does not guarantee they have been consistently maintained.
