Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for immediate maintenance. While the mileage is relatively low, the most recent MOT shows several items that require attention, including brakes and tyres.
When inspecting this specific black 1.2L petrol 308, your primary focus should be on the braking system and tyres. The July 2026 MOT explicitly noted worn front brake discs and thinning brake pads on both the nearside and offside. You should negotiate the sale price to reflect the cost of replacing these components immediately.
Additionally, check the condition of all four tyres. The recent record mentions damage and perishing on the front inner tyres, and previous years have shown wear on the edges of the offside front and rear tyres. Ensure the coolant level is topped up as advised in the latest report and verify that the rear registration plate lamp is functional, as this was noted as inoperative.
The 1200cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a lower insurance group and tax band, making it relatively economical for urban driving. Fuel economy for this model variant is typically competitive for a small hatchback.
Maintenance costs will likely be standard for a Peugeot of this age, though you should budget for the immediate replacement of brake components and tyres identified in the latest MOT. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and scheduled maintenance, typically fall within a moderate range for this class of vehicle.
First, inspect the braking system. The MOT history for ML68NKW indicates that the front brake discs and pads are nearing the end of their service life. Check for any grinding noises or vibrations when braking.
Second, examine the tyres closely. The 2026 MOT highlighted 'slightly damaged' and 'cracking or perishing' inner tyres, which can be a safety concern. Look for uneven wear patterns, as the 2022 and 2023 MOTs both flagged tyres worn close to the legal limit on the edges. Finally, check the coolant levels and the rear registration plate lamp to ensure the recent MOT advisories have been addressed.
This 2018 Peugeot 308 (ML68NKW) has covered 45,204 miles since its first registration in September 2018. The MOT history shows a pattern of minor wear-and-tear issues, with the most recent test in July 2026 recording several advisories regarding brakes, tyres, and coolant. While it has passed its tests, the recent increase in advisory items suggests a period of increased component wear.
Based on an aggregate of 156,115 vehicles, this model shows a 76.6% average MOT pass rate, with common failure points including headlamps, tyres, and drive shaft joints.
