2010 Peugeot 308 2.0L Diesel · MJ54 YOU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful pass on March 16, 2026, 181,888 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but reactive, as evidenced by a recurring pattern of immediate failures followed by swift repairs. In both 2025 and 2026, the car failed the test within a few days of appointment but passed shortly thereafter. This suggests the previous owner addresses MOTrelevant faults only when necessary to maintain legal compliance rather than following a proactive preventative maintenance schedule. At 181,888 miles over 16 years, the Peugeot has averaged approximately 11,368 miles per year, which aligns closely with typical national averages for a family hatchback of this age. The data shows consistent annual usage, with roughly 4,000 miles covered between March 2024 and March 2025, and another 2,000 miles covered between March 2025 and March 2026. This regularity indicates the vehicle has not suffered from long stationary periods which often cause seal degradation or brake corrosion. A buyer should focus on the specific components that triggered the recent failures, although the provided record does not detail the exact mechanical causes. Given the high mileage and age, a physical inspection of the suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs is essential as these are common wear points on this model. The buyer should also check for structural corrosion on the rear sills and subframe, and verify the brake system for binding or excessive play, as the recurring test failures suggest these areas require frequent attention.
