Our Verdict
Highly recommended for buyers seeking a low-mileage city hatchback with an exceptionally clean MOT record. This vehicle represents a rare example where the mileage is significantly below the national average.
When inspecting this specific vehicle, the primary focus should be the low mileage. Because it has covered only 5,600 miles per year on average, you must ensure the car has been serviced annually according to time intervals, not just mileage, to prevent oil degradation and fluid breakdown. Check for signs of tyre cracking, as low-mileage cars can sometimes suffer from rubber perish even if tread depth is high.
Negotiate based on the service history to confirm the engine has been maintained despite the low use. Since the MOT history shows no mechanical failures, pay close attention to the condition of the brakes and the smoothness of the gearbox during the test drive, as these are areas of interest for the 308 model.
The 1200cc engine is designed for efficiency, likely falling into a low tax band and modest insurance group. You can expect competitive fuel economy, particularly in city driving, though high-speed motorway runs will see better figures.
Annual running costs are estimated to be between £600 and £900, covering fuel, basic insurance, tax, and routine maintenance. Given the low mileage, you may spend less on consumable items like brake pads and tyres compared to the average 308 owner.
The MOT history for this specific car is remarkably clean, with no failures recorded between 2021 and 2025. However, you should still inspect for common Peugeot 308 issues identified in aggregate data, such as drive shaft joints and headlamps, which are top failure reasons for this model across the fleet.
Check the interior for unusual wear that might contradict the low 27,984-mile reading. Verify the date codes on the tyres; a car that has sat frequently may have tyres reaching the end of their structural life despite having remaining tread.
This 2016 Peugeot 308 sits at just 27,984 miles, which is far lower than the expected roughly 43,000 miles for a car of this age. Its MOT history is exemplary, showing five consecutive annual passes with zero defects or advisories recorded over the last five years. The 1200cc petrol engine suggests a fuel-efficient choice for urban and short-distance driving.
The Peugeot 308 generally sees a 76.6% MOT pass rate across the fleet, with drive shaft joints and headlamps being the most common points of failure.
