2009 Peugeot 308 1.6L Petrol · MA04 SAO

This Peugeot 308 shows a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean record of passes over the last four years. The most recent test on 22 April 2025 at 78,111 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates the vehicle currently meets the minimum legal safety and environmental standards. The mileage is notably low for a 2009 model, averaging roughly 4,595 miles per year. The distance covered between tests has remained consistent, with a jump of 5,938 miles between February 2022 and April 2023, followed by 5,938 miles in the year leading to April 2024. The most recent interval saw a lower increase of 3,017 miles. Such low usage suggests the car has not been subjected to heavy motorway wear, though it can sometimes indicate periods of inactivity. The MOT history is unusually clean for a vehicle of this age, showing no recorded defects or advisories across multiple years. While the failure on 6 April 2023 at 69,145 miles was resolved immediately on the same day, the lack of any mentioned wear on brake discs, tyres, or suspension bushes is atypical for a seventeen year old car. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that often degrade regardless of mileage. Check for corrosion on the sills and suspension mounting points, as these are common failure points for this model. Verify the condition of the rubber seals and check for any signs of perished tyres or leaking shock absorbers, which often occur when a vehicle spends long periods stationary.
