2012 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · LP61 LUZ

The 2026‑02‑11 MOT at 177,993 miles passed without any recorded defects, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy at the time of testing. The preceding 2025‑02‑06 test at 170,594 miles also passed, while the 2025‑02‑05 test at the same mileage recorded a failure despite no defects being listed, suggesting a possible clerical anomaly. Apart from this isolated discrepancy, the series of annual tests from 2023 to 2026 shows a stable maintenance record with no recurring mechanical failures. The mileage trajectory reflects heavy use for a 14‑year‑old 2012 Peugeot 308: annual averages of roughly 12,700 miles, with the greatest jump occurring between the 2023‑02‑23 test at 149,096 miles and the 2024‑02‑01 test at 159,017 miles (10,000 miles in one year). Subsequent annual increments of about 11,000 to 12,000 miles are evident, indicating consistent high‑intensity operation rather than long periods of inactivity. A buyer should therefore concentrate on the vehicle’s suspension system, examining bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers for wear or binding, and verify the condition of the brake discs, pads and calipers, which are prone to wear at this mileage. Inspection of tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition and any signs of structural rust on the chassis, especially around the wheel arches and underbody, is advisable, as high annual mileage accelerates degradation of these components.
