2010 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · LT10 JTZ

The 2010 Peugeot 308 has maintained a consistent MOT history with no defects recorded in any of the five tests spanning 2022 to 2025. The most recent test on 2025-06-05 passed cleanly at 147,679 miles, following an unusual but non-fault-related failure the day prior at 147,666 miles—likely due to administrative or procedural oversight rather than mechanical issues. This pattern suggests the vehicle has been reliably roadworthy, though the repeated June testing in 2025 warrants scrutiny of whether the owner delayed the MOT unnecessarily or if the vehicle was driven extensively during that period. The recorded mileage of 147,679 miles over 16 years aligns with typical usage for its age, averaging around 9,230 miles annually. There are no significant gaps or spikes in mileage accumulation between tests, with the most recent interval covering 4,514 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests. The consistent progression indicates steady use without prolonged periods of neglect or rapid degradation. However, the lack of intermediate maintenance records means potential wear on high-wear components—such as suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers—cannot be confirmed without further inspection. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, as these are common failure points in vehicles of this age and mileage. The brakes, including disc thickness and caliper binding, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, especially if the vehicle has been driven in wet conditions. Structural integrity, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, should also be assessed for corrosion, as this is a critical but often overlooked risk in older cars. The absence of recorded defects does not guarantee these areas are free from hidden issues, so a thorough visual and functional examination is essential.
