2009 Peugeot 308 1.6L Petrol · PJ09 TSU

The 2009 Peugeot 308 demonstrates a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 2026-03-30 confirming no defects at 109,720 miles. Despite two consecutive failures in 2025-01-16 and 2026-03-24, both recorded without specific defects, the latest pass suggests any prior issues were resolved. The absence of recorded faults in the most recent test indicates the vehicle meets current safety standards, though the pattern of repeated failures without detailed diagnostics raises questions about the consistency of maintenance. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging 6,454 miles annually. The MOT records show a steady increase in mileage between tests, with no significant gaps or abrupt spikes. The 2024-01-30 test at 108,062 miles was passed, followed by a 785-mile rise to 108,847 miles by 2025-01-16, then a 781-mile jump to 109,720 by 2026-03-30. This consistent accumulation suggests regular use rather than prolonged inactivity, though the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into component wear. A buyer should prioritise inspecting suspension components, particularly rear coil springs and bushes, which are prone to wear in older Peugeots. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny due to their critical role in safety, even without recorded faults. Corrosion in the underbody and exhaust system should also be checked, as these are common issues for vehicles of this age. The MOT history provides limited direct evidence of structural or mechanical degradation, but the vehicle’s maintenance pattern implies a need for thorough pre-purchase evaluation of high-mileage wear items.
