2014 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · OV14 ABF

The vehicle last presented for testing on 13 January 2025, achieving a Pass with no advisories or defects recorded. This followed a previous Pass on 25 January 2024, just two days after a Fail on 23 January 2024 where no defects were entered against the test. The earliest record, a Fail dated 5 January 2023, was also recorded without specific defect entries, and was immediately followed by a Pass at the same date with no defects noted. With the most recent examination now over nineteen months old relative to today (30 August 2026), the certificate has expired and the car has been operating without a current MOT certificate for a considerable period, meaning its present roadworthy status cannot be confirmed from the official history. Mileage progression cannot be verified from the supplied data, as no odometer readings are included against any of the five test entries. The vehicle is approximately twelve years old with a recorded total of 123,461 miles, equating to a typical average of around 10,288 miles per year. Without dated mileages, it is impossible to determine whether the car has covered consistent annual distances, suffered extended periods of standing, or been used intensively. The absence of mileage data across the recorded tests means any assessment of wear rate is purely speculative. Because none of the failures carry recorded defect categories, the specific mechanical or structural causes cannot be identified from the MOT history alone. A prospective buyer should arrange an independent pre-purchase inspection focusing on the components most commonly associated with high-mileage diesel and petrol vehicles of this era. Priority items include a thorough check of the front and rear suspension bushes, coil springs, and wishbone bearings, along with inspection of the rear brake calipers for binding, a known issue on 308 models. The brake discs and pads should be measured for remaining service life, and the exhaust system examined for corrosion and emissions compliance, particularly on diesel variants given the vehicle's age. Given the expired MOT, the car should also undergo a full structural corrosion assessment, paying particular attention to the rear axle, subframes, and inner sills where rust is frequently found on vehicles of this age and mileage bracket. Overall, the available record is inconclusive. Two failures were logged without defect details, the certificate is now significantly out of date, and mileage history is absent. Buying Score: 48, Medium Risk.
