2010 Peugeot 308 1.4L Petrol · LL10 ACZ

The most recent MOT recorded on 26 January 2026 shows a Pass, and despite an accompanying Fail entry on the same date with no defects listed, the absence of any recorded faults across the six‑year MOT window indicates that the vehicle has not been flagged for any mechanical non‑compliance. The pattern of consecutive Passes in 2025 and 2024, interspersed only by administrative Fail entries that also carry no defect details, suggests a stable maintenance record rather than a deteriorating one. At 104 043 miles the 2010 Peugeot 308 averages roughly 6 500 miles per annum, a usage rate that sits comfortably within the normal range for a vehicle of its age. There are no obvious periods of unusually high mileage accumulation that would point to accelerated wear, nor are there significant mileage gaps that might imply long periods of inactivity. Consequently the wear on consumables such as tyres, brake pads and suspension components should be commensurate with a mid‑life, moderately used car. Given the clean defect history, the buyer should focus on age‑related inspections. Examine the tyre sidewalls for cracking, dry rot or ageing, especially if the tyres are older than six years, and verify that tread depth meets the legal minimum and is even across the set. Inspect the suspension – look for worn bushings, loosened or cracked coil springs, and listen for any clunking or knocking when the car is driven over bumps or taken through a tight corner. Check the brake discs for surface rust, scoring or uneven wear, and confirm that the pads have sufficient thickness; any shudder or pulsation under braking would warrant further attention. Additional checks should include the condition of the 12‑volt battery, particularly if the car has spent extended periods stationary, and a test of the charging system to ensure voltage is within specification. Verify that all fluid levels – engine oil, coolant, brake fluid and power‑steering fluid – are at the correct levels and appear clean; consider that calendar‑based fluid degradation may have occurred even if mileage is modest, so a fluid change could be prudent. Finally, review the service book for regular oil changes and any major service stamps, and conduct a thorough visual inspection for rust on wheel arches, sills and the under‑carriage, as corrosion can develop silently on a vehicle of this age.
