2012 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · PU62 EZX

The vehicle presents a technically roadworthy profile with a stable maintenance trend following a brief setback. The most recent inspection on 28 March 2025 at 154,900 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets all safety and emissions standards. This clean result follows two consecutive clean passes in 2024 and 2023, suggesting that the previous owner has addressed any developing issues as they have appeared. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles annually. Between the 2022 test at 117,489 miles and the 2025 test at 154,900 miles, the car covered over 37,000 miles, reflecting a regular driving pattern. The short gap in the failure in April 2023 at 129,840 miles, followed by a pass just three days later at 129,913 miles, indicates a minor, rectified fault that was addressed immediately rather than a chronic mechanical failure. A physical inspection should focus on the high-wear components associated with a 154,000-mile odometer. Given the age, the buyer should check the condition of the rubber suspension bushes and coil springs, which often perish at this mileage bracket. The braking system should be examined for thinning discs or seised calipers, as the record does not explicitly track past corrosion or binding issues. While the MOT history is currently clean, the high mileage suggests that drivetrain components and the exhaust system may be nearing the end of their primary service cycles.
