2021 Peugeot 308 1.5L Diesel · PX71 AMU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass during the most recent inspection in February 2026. This latest test at 124,447 miles recorded no defects, matching the clean result from the previous year in February 2025. The consistency suggests that the primary mechanical and safety components are currently meeting DVSA standards despite the heavy usage of the car. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally high for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 25,000 miles per annum. Between the February 2025 test at 99,013 miles and the February 2026 test at 124,447 miles, the car covered 25,434 miles in just twelve months. This rapid rate indicates consistent long-distance motorway driving, which typically places different stresses on the drivetrain and suspension compared to short-trip urban commuting. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on components most susceptible to wear under high-mileage cycles. Given the mileage, the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers should be checked for signs of premature fatigue or fluid leaks. The braking system requires close scrutiny for thin brake discs and worn pads, as the high frequency of use accelerates consumption of these consumables. Additionally, verifying the condition of the exhaust system and tyre integrity is vital to ensure that the high mileage has not led to neglected structural corrosion or rubber degradation.
