2022 Peugeot 308 Active Premium P-Tech SS A 1.2L Petrol · LL22 CBV

The 2022 PEUGEOT 308 presents a stable and unblemished mechanical history based on the available DVSA records. The most recent test on 23 June 2025 recorded a clean pass at 12,605 miles with zero defects or advisories. This outcome indicates the vehicle met all required safety and emissions standards at that time, showing no immediate signs of mechanical deterioration or structural compromise. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age, averaging just over 3,150 miles per year. Notably, the recorded mileage of 12,605 miles has remained static between the June 2025 test and the current date, suggesting the car has covered negligible distance over the past twelve months. Such minimal use often points to prolonged periods of standing rather than consistent daily driving, which introduces its own set of maintenance considerations distinct from high-mileage wear. Given the low annual mileage and recent stagnation in use, a physical inspection must focus on the adverse effects of infrequent operation. Examine the brake discs for surface corrosion, a common issue when pads sit stationary against rotors, which can cause binding or juddering until worn off. Check the tyre sidewalls and tread for flat-spotting or perishing caused by the vehicle remaining stationary under load. Inspect suspension bushes and exhaust components for moisture-related corrosion, as short trips fail to evaporate condensation effectively. Verify the health of the 12-volt battery, as infrequent driving often leads to premature discharge and sulphation, potentially compromising the start-stop system.
