2016 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · PL16 CZC

The 2016 Peugeot 308 presents a stable and unblemished roadworthiness record across all five documented MOT tests. The most recent examination, conducted on 16 June 2023 at 71,035 miles, passed with zero defects, advisories, or failures. The maintenance trend is firmly stable, with no recurring mechanical or structural concerns flagged at any point during the vehicle's recorded testing history. This is a notably clean record for a car approaching a decade in age. The mileage progression tells an unusual story. Between the May 2022 test at 43,114 miles and the June 2023 test at 71,035 miles, the car accumulated 27,921 miles in approximately thirteen months, a sharp departure from the earlier annual average of roughly 7,000 miles. Prior to that, the mileage grew steadily from 20,003 miles in June 2019 to 43,114 miles by May 2022. The 2023 test date is now over three years old relative to today's date of 18 June 2026, and the recorded mileage has remained frozen at 71,035 miles since. This suggests the vehicle may have been sitting unused, exported, or otherwise off the road for an extended period. A buyer should approach this mileage gap and extended dormancy with caution. Tyres may have developed flat spots or perished sidewalls from prolonged standing. Brake discs and pads could exhibit surface corrosion or binding from lack of use. Suspension bushes and coil springs should be inspected for deterioration that static storage can accelerate. The exhaust system and underbody should be checked for corrosion, particularly if the car has been parked on grass or damp ground. Despite the clean MOT history, the absence of a test since June 2023 means no independent verification of the vehicle's condition in over three years. A thorough in-person inspection covering structural integrity, brake operation, steering components, and fluid condition is strongly advised before purchase.
