As a 2.0L diesel, this vehicle is likely to offer decent fuel economy on long motorway journeys, though it will be less efficient in stop-start urban driving. Tax bands for 2008 diesel models vary, so you should check the specific VED rate for this engine size.

Insurance groups for Peugeot 308s of this era are generally moderate, making them accessible for many drivers. Maintenance costs should be typical for a French hatchback of this age, though older diesel components like fuel injectors or turbochargers can occasionally incur higher repair bills.

Based on aggregate data for this model, you should pay close attention to the headlamps, tyres, and drive shaft joints, as these are the most frequent causes of MOT failure for the Peugeot 308. Check that the headlamp lenses are clear and not significantly oxidised.

Inspect the tyres for adequate tread depth and even wear, and look for any play in the front wheels which could indicate issues with the drive shaft joints. Given the 110,507 miles recorded, also check for any signs of oil leaks around the engine bay and ensure the suspension components do not creak when the car is moved.
