2012 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · MM12 ABK

This Peugeot 308 presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent record of passing its MOT tests. The most recent inspection on 3 September 2025 at 95,793 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates the vehicle currently meets the minimum legal safety and environmental standards without immediate mechanical concerns. The mileage pattern is typical for a 14 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,842 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between August 2024 and September 2025, where the odometer rose from 76,645 to 95,793 miles. This jump of nearly 20,000 miles in a single year is a departure from the previous trend of roughly 9,000 miles annually seen between 2022 and 2024. The MOT history is exceptionally clean, showing no recorded defects or advisories across five years of testing. A failure on 7 September 2023 at 67,771 miles was resolved within the same day, though the record does not specify the nature of the fault. The absence of recurring mentions of suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust leaks suggests a well-maintained example. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on common age-related wear that MOT tests sometimes overlook. Check the condition of the timing belt and water pump, as these are critical service items for this engine and are not flagged during a standard MOT. Inspect the chassis and sills for surface corrosion and verify the condition of the tyre treads and brake pads to ensure they have not worn down since the September 2025 test.
