2016 Peugeot 308 GT Line HDI Blue S/S 2.0L Diesel · MD16 SVL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT on 10 May 2026 at 72,519 miles. While a failure was recorded just four days prior at 72,469 miles, the lack of recorded defects on that entry suggests an administrative error or a cancelled re-test rather than a mechanical failure. The overall maintenance trend appears stable and improving, as the significant mechanical issues identified in previous years have since been addressed. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,250 miles per annum. Between the May 2025 test at 68,728 miles and the current May 2026 test, the car covered 3,791 miles. This lower-average annual usage suggests the vehicle may have sat for extended periods, which can sometimes be beneficial to the condition of rubber components and brake systems, provided they are maintained against seizing. A physical inspection should focus on the front suspension and drivetrain assembly. The June 2023 test at 58,340 miles flagged reduced damping in both front shocks and a deteriorated nearside front CV boot. A buyer must verify that these components were replaced with high-quality parts and that no grease leakage is present from the drive shafts. Additionally, the sidewall cut on the nearside tyre noted in 2023 should be checked for signs of dry cracking or structural deformation, as low mileage often masks the age-related degradation of tyre compounds despite tread depth.
