2009 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · LS09 OMU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 7 April 2026 at 199,028 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently secured passes without recorded defects over the last three years. While the record shows immediate failures in both 2025 and 2026, the lack of specific defect descriptions on those failures suggests they were likely minor items or consumable issues that were rectified immediately before the re-test. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 199,028 miles represents an annual average of approximately 11,700 miles. This aligns closely with national averages for a passenger vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent accumulation, with 7,270 miles driven between April 2024 and April 2025, and another 2,090 miles covered in the final year leading to today. This regular usage suggests the vehicle is driven frequently, which often helps prevent the internal corrosion and seal degradation associated with cars that sit stationary for long periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking components, as high-mileage vehicles experience significant stress on bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers. Given the age of the Peugeot, checking for structural integrity and corrosion on the sills and rear mounting points is essential. Although the MOT history is currently clean, the high mileage necessitates a close look at the drivetrain and the condition of brake discs to ensure there is no excessive wear or binding that has not yet triggered a formal failure.
