Our Verdict
This 2016 Peugeot 308 diesel is a usable
Focus your pre-purchase checks on the front suspension, since two consecutive MOTs have noted wear on both sides. Have the lower arms, ball joints and bushes physically inspected on a ramp, and budget for replacement if any play is found. Inspect the tyres carefully — the 2023 test flagged both fronts as worn close to the legal limit, so ask when they were last replaced and check the current tread depth. A thorough test drive should listen for any clunks over bumps, which would indicate worn suspension components not yet flagged. Given the mileage is roughly double the model average, ask to see any service history receipts and confirm cambelt and clutch condition where possible.
The 1.6 HDi diesel in the 308 is generally economical, with real-world fuel economy typically in the 55–65 mpg range. Road tax for a 2016 1.6 diesel 308 usually falls in a low-to-mid band depending on exact emissions, often £20–£165 per year. Insurance sits in a moderate group for the model. Routine maintenance including cambelt changes, brake wear items and tyre replacement is the main cost consideration, and with this mileage suspension components have already begun to need attention. Estimated annual running cost is likely £1,000-£1,300.
Begin by jacking or ramping the front end and checking both lower suspension arms for play in the ball joints, exactly as the MOT tester would. Examine the inner arm pins and bushes for wear, as both sides were flagged in the 2024 test. Check tyre condition on all four corners, particularly the fronts, and verify they are matching and within legal tread. Beyond the MOT data, inspect the 1.6 HDi for oil leaks around the turbo and sump, listen for timing chain rattle on cold start, and check the EGR valve for carbon build-up which is common on this engine at higher mileages. Test the clutch for slipping under load and the dual-mass flywheel for vibration on take-off.
This black 2016 Peugeot 308 1.6 diesel (MK66WCD) has covered 140,626 miles across five recorded MOT tests, all of which were passes — a clean pass record with no failures. However, the most recent two tests (2024 and 2025) have flagged recurring front suspension advisories on both nearside and offside lower arms and ball joints. Mileage is well above the model's average annual figure of 7,279 miles, indicating heavy use relative to a typical 308. The engine size and fuel type point to the popular 1.6 HDi unit common in this generation.
The Peugeot 308 has an MOT pass rate of 76.6% across 156,127 vehicles analysed, which sits below average and indicates mixed reliability. The most common failure reasons are headlamp issues, tyres and drive shaft joints — though this particular car has avoided drive shaft problems.
