2019 Peugeot 308 1.5L Diesel · LP19 EEZ

A consistently clean MOT record across five consecutive test cycles demonstrates strong structural and mechanical integrity for this 2019 Peugeot 308, with the most recent pass on 21 April 2026 showing no recorded defects and a stable pattern of roadworthiness stretching back to its first test in April 2022. The single advisory-laden test came at the 2023 inspection, where near-limit tyres and pitted rear brake discs were flagged but never escalated into failures in subsequent years. The absence of any repeat advisories on the brake discs or tyres in 2024, 2025, or 2026 suggests those components were either replaced or monitored closely, and the unbroken pass streak thereafter points to a vehicle holding its condition well into its seventh year. At 90,001 miles over a seven-year span, this Peugeot has accumulated roughly 12,857 miles annually, which sits well above the typical mileage for a car of this age and indicates sustained, regular use rather than periods of inactivity. Higher annual mileage generally accelerates wear on consumables such as brake pads, discs, clutches, and suspension components, and increases the likelihood of intermediate service interventions. The absence of any recorded advisory in the two most recent tests is particularly reassuring given this usage profile, suggesting that the higher wear rate has been managed effectively. No significant gaps between annual tests indicate continuous road presence, and the mileage progression appears consistent and steady rather than erratic. For a prospective buyer, the 2023 advisories warrant specific attention on a test drive and physical inspection. The front tyres flagged as worn close to the legal limit on both nearside and offside edges may point to an alignment issue, so check for uneven shoulder wear on the current set and listen for any tramlining or pulling to one side at speed, which can indicate camber or tracking deviation. The rear brake disc advisories for pitting and scoring should prompt a close look at the current discs and pads, as pitted surfaces can transmit judder through the pedal under firm braking and often necessitate disc replacement rather than just pad swap. On the road, test the brakes from higher speeds to feel for any vibration through the pedal or steering wheel, and inspect the rear discs visually through the wheel spokes for lipping, rust scoring, or excessive shine. Given the higher-than-average mileage, prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension bushes, wishbones, and anti-roll bar linkages by pushing firmly on each corner of the car to detect any knocking or excessive play, symptoms which typically emerge on high-mileage Peugeot 308s. Listen for clonking or rattling over speed bumps and uneven surfaces, particularly from the front lower arms and rear beam bushings. Check the condition of the clutch during a test drive for any slipping under load, judging, or a high biting point, as clutch wear accelerates with higher annual mileage. Finally, inspect the engine bay for any oil seepage around the cam cover and sump, verify the coolant level and condition, and ensure the timing belt or chain service interval has been documented, as these are critical maintenance items on a higher-mileage vehicle approaching the end of its manufacturer-replaced component life.
