Our Verdict
Exercise caution before purchasing this 2013 Peugeot 308. While the specific MOT history is limited, the high mileage relative to the model average warrants a thorough mechanical inspection.
Given that the last recorded MOT was in late 2021, your first priority should be to verify if the vehicle has a current, valid MOT. If the vehicle has been off the road or has missed tests, you must ensure it has been inspected for age-related deterioration, particularly regarding rubber components and fluids.
When negotiating, use the high mileage as a primary lever. You should request a full service history to confirm that the 1.6L diesel engine has received regular oil changes, which is critical for this engine variant. Ask specifically about the timing belt (cambelt) replacement interval, as this is a major maintenance item for this model.
As a 1560cc diesel, this Peugeot 308 is designed for efficiency, likely offering decent fuel economy on longer journeys. However, potential buyers should check the specific Euro emission standard to understand any potential ULEZ or Clean Air Zone charges in UK cities.
Insurance groups for this model vary depending on the trim, but the 1.6 diesel is typically positioned in a moderate bracket. Annual running costs will be influenced by the vehicle's age and mileage, with maintenance costs potentially increasing as it moves further into higher mileage brackets.
You should pay close attention to the lighting and tyre condition, as these are identified as top MOT failure reasons for this model across the aggregate data of 156,083 vehicles. Check all headlamps and indicators for clarity and function.
Additionally, since 'drive shaft joint' is a common failure reason for this model, listen for clicking sounds when turning the steering wheel at low speeds. Given the 121,118 miles recorded, inspect the suspension components and bushes for signs of excessive wear or play.
This blue 1.6L diesel Peugeot 308, registered in May 2013, has covered 121,118 miles as of its last recorded MOT in November 2021. This mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 7,295 miles per year. The vehicle's history includes one recorded MOT failure at the 121,118-mile mark, though no specific defect details were documented for that failure.
Aggregate data shows a 76.5% MOT pass rate for this model, with common failures relating to headlamps, tyres, and drive shaft joints.
