2018 Peugeot 308 1.2L Petrol · PX68 CNV

The 2018 Peugeot 308 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 October 2025 at 43,522 miles passed with no defects recorded, and every prior annual examination returned a clean pass. No advisories or failures appear anywhere in the five-year DVSA history, so the vehicle shows no worsening faults or recurring mechanical concerns. Annual mileage has been consistently low for an eight-year-old car. The record shows 16,867 miles at the 8 December 2021 test, rising to 22,007 by 29 October 2022, 27,072 by 10 October 2023, 35,675 by 3 October 2024, and 43,522 by October 2025. That averages roughly 5,400 miles per year with no sudden accumulation spikes or dormant gaps exceeding normal service intervals. The clean sheet across all dates suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current rather than deferring consumable replacement. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection despite the unblemished record. Low-use vehicles often sit for extended periods, which can degrade rubber suspension bushes, flat-spot tyres, and promote underbody corrosion invisible to a passing emissions and lighting check. Peugeot 308 platforms of this era are prone to rear axle and subframe rust where road salt gathers, so the tester should probe structural integrity beneath sills and suspension mounts. Brake discs and calipers warrant physical measurement given the light annual mileage may have left them with superficial pitting from standing. The absence of advisories means the DVSA tester found no binding calipers or worn coil springs, but a pre-purchase check of fluid condition and tyre sidewall cracking remains sensible on a car used this sparingly.
