2016 Peugeot 308 1.2L Petrol · NA66 ABV

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend following recent inconsistencies. The most recent MOT test on 24 June 2025 at 78,389 miles passed with no defects, indicating that any previous issues have been addressed. This success follows a period of failures in both 2024 and 2025, but the immediate resolution of these faults in subsequent tests suggests the current owner is proactive in rectifying mechanical failures to maintain legal safety standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year. A significant gap of 12,535 miles was covered between September 2023 (59,778 miles) and September 2024 (72,313 miles), followed by a more rapid accumulation of 6,076 miles in the nine months leading to the June 2025 test. This variation in usage suggests the car has been used more frequently recently, which typically accelerates the wear on consumable components like rubber bushes and brake components compared to vehicles that sit stationary. While the latest record shows no active defects, the failures in September 2024 and May 2025 necessitate a physical inspection of the areas that likely caused them. A buyer should specifically inspect the suspension for signs of perished bushes and check the brake calipers for binding, as these are common points of failure on this model. Given the age of the vehicle, a close look at the structural integrity of the sills and exhaust mounting for corrosion is necessary to ensure that the clean MOT record is not masking underlying rust that has not yet reached the threshold of failure.
