2022 Peugeot 308 Allure Premium P-Tech SS A 1.2L Petrol · MD22 FVR

A 2022 Peugeot 308 with just two MOT tests on record presents a notably abbreviated roadworthiness history, and both entries are passes with no advisories or defects recorded. The most recent test on 26 June 2026 returned a clean pass, and the prior test on 17 June 2025 was equally unblemished. With a vehicle of this age first becoming MOT eligible three years after registration in 2022, the earliest possible test would have been in 2025, meaning the available DVSA data effectively captures only the second and third eligible years. While a clean pair of passes is encouraging, the absence of advisories over a relatively short testing window provides limited insight into the developing condition of wear items such as suspension bushes, brake discs, and underbody corrosion, which typically begin to surface on vehicles of this age as they accumulate mileage and exposure. The recorded mileage of 26,660 miles across approximately four years of service equates to an average annual accumulation of around 6,665 miles, which sits comfortably within the expected range for a privately used family hatchback of this type. There are no significant gaps in the testing record that would suggest prolonged periods off the road, nor is there any evidence of irregular mileage progression between the two recorded tests, both of which fall within a twelve-month interval consistent with normal annual usage. This moderate usage profile is mechanically favourable in that it implies the powertrain, clutch (if applicable), braking system, and suspension components have not been subjected to the elevated wear rates associated with high annual mileages, yet it is not so low as to raise immediate concerns about standing-related deterioration of seals, brake discs, or fluid systems. The mileage progression between the 2025 and 2026 tests should be reviewed directly on the V5C and dashboard to confirm continuity. Because the MOT history itself flags no specific components, a prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas most likely to be approaching service intervals on a 2022 Peugeot 308 at this mileage. On a test drive, listen for any knocking or clonking from the front suspension over uneven surfaces, particularly indicative of worn lower wishbone bushes or anti-roll bar link deterioration, which is a known wear area on this platform. The steering should remain precise without vibration through the wheel, and any pulling to one side under braking or straight-line driving would warrant further investigation of brake caliper binding or uneven pad wear. At the rear, check that the electric handbrake applies and releases cleanly, as caliper mechanisms can seize with infrequent use. A physical inspection beneath the vehicle on a ramp is advisable to check for early signs of corrosion on the rear axle beam and suspension arms, areas that can show surface oxidation on vehicles operating in winter-treated road conditions. Brake discs should be inspected for lipping and minimum thickness, with any deep scoring or corrosion pitting on the friction surface suggesting the discs may be due for replacement soon. The undertray should be removed to check for oil or coolant residue around the engine sump and coolant hoses, as even small seepages from gaskets or the oil filter housing can develop at this mileage. Finally, verify that all warning lamps extinguish promptly after ignition, that the infotainment and driver assistance systems function without fault codes, and that the tyre tread depths across all four corners are within legal limits, as uneven wear can reveal underlying suspension geometry issues not yet flagged on an MOT.
