2021 Peugeot 308 Allure DIG SW Bhdi S/S A 1.5L Diesel · OU21 ACZ

The most recent MOT test on 2025-04-14 confirms this Peugeot 308 remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded at 44,429 miles. The absence of advisories or failures in the past two tests suggests a stable maintenance pattern, though the single failure in March 2024—despite occurring at just 29,765 miles—stands out as an anomaly. Without specific defect details, the cause remains unclear, but the vehicle has since passed two consecutive tests without issue. The latest MOT is just under a year old, which is acceptable but not ideal for a vehicle of this age and mileage, as it falls short of the DVSA’s recommended 12-month interval for low-mileage cars. The recorded mileage progression shows a consistent average of approximately 8,886 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There is a notable gap between the March 2024 failure and the April 2024 retest, covering just 151 miles—a period too short to justify a repeat test unless the issue was resolved quickly. The most recent MOT, at 44,429 miles, aligns with the expected wear rate for a five-year-old vehicle, though the lack of intermediate maintenance records means potential hidden wear cannot be confirmed. Given the sparse MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear components, particularly the suspension system, given the age and mileage. The single 2024 failure, if related to suspension bushes or coil springs, could indicate a recurring issue, though the subsequent passes suggest it was rectified. Brake components—discs, pads, and calipers—should be scrutinised for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has been driven aggressively. Structural integrity, including underbody corrosion and wheel bearing condition, should also be checked, as these are common failure points for this model range. The absence of advisories does not rule out gradual deterioration in less critical areas like fluid levels or electrical systems.
