2008 Peugeot 308 1.6L Petrol · LN58 OJR

The vehicle's MOT history shows an inconsistent pattern of passing and failing tests over the last three years. While the most recent test on 30 January 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects, the record shows two failures in the preceding 24 months. The failure on 19 December 2025 followed a pass on 4 December 2024, suggesting a recurring issue that appears to have been addressed or cleared by the January 2026 test. The maintenance trend is currently unstable due to these intermittent failures. The recorded mileage of 42,051 miles is low for a 2008 model, averaging approximately 2,336 miles per year. This low annual usage can sometimes lead to secondary issues such as seized components or degraded fluids from long periods of inactivity. The MOT entries show a consistent annual testing pattern from November 2023 through to January 2026, though the mileage increments between these specific dates are not detailed in the provided data. Because the MOT records for 2024 and 2025 show failures without specific defect descriptions, a physical inspection is necessary to identify the underlying cause of these failures. A buyer should specifically examine the braking system for binding calipers or worn discs, and inspect the suspension for perished bushes or leaking dampers. Given the vehicle's age and low mileage, checking for structural corrosion on the chassis and underside is also advisable. The lack of recorded advisories in the most recent pass is a positive indicator for the current status, but the history of failures means the vehicle has not maintained a consistent pass record. A thorough check of all consumables, including tyres and wiper blades, should be conducted to ensure no minor defects were overlooked in the recent clean pass.
