2009 Peugeot 308 1.6L Petrol · LL59 AFZ

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean record of passes, though the most recent MOT date of 24 January 2023 indicates the car has not been tested for over three years. While the 2023 test at 96,894 miles was a clean pass with no defects, the current lack of a valid certificate means the roadworthiness status is currently unknown. The mileage is notably low for a 2009 model, averaging roughly 5,700 miles per year. The record shows a consistent increase from 80,550 miles in January 2020 to 96,894 miles in January 2023. A brief failure on 19 January 2021 at 86,284 miles was resolved within nine days, suggesting the owner addressed issues promptly to secure the pass on 28 January 2021. The absence of advisories across five tests is unusual for a vehicle of this age and suggests either an exceptional standard of care or a very light duty cycle. However, the three-year gap in testing since January 2023 is a significant red flag. Vehicles that stand idle for long periods often develop perished tyres, seized brake calipers, and degraded battery health. A physical inspection must prioritise the chassis and suspension components for corrosion, as the MOT history does not reflect the typical wear seen in older Peugeots. Check for flat spots on the tyres and ensure the braking system has not seized during the period of inactivity. Verify the current state of the engine oil and coolant to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from long-term stagnation.
