2008 Peugeot 308 2.0L Diesel · RA08 PXW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on January 5 2026 at 112,667 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently achieved passing results following immediate re-test failures. While the record shows failures on the initial presentation of tests, the lack of recorded advisories on the passing certificates suggests that the previous owner was proactive in addressing identified faults quickly to maintain legal road status. The mileage pattern is consistent with an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,259 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 8,568 miles covered between January 2024 and December 2024, followed by another 10,811 miles covered in the thirteen months leading up to January January 2026. This recent surge in usage suggests a shift toward more frequent driving, which may accelerate the wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, but it indicates the vehicle is not suffering from the degradation often associated with long periods of sitting or stagnant cycles. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking systems, as these are common areas of failure for a Peugeot 308 of this age. Despite the clean passing records, the high mileage necessitates a close look for perished rubber bushes in the control arms and signs of corrosion on the rear mounting points. Given that the vehicle has surpassed 110,000 miles, verifying the integrity of the exhaust system and the condition of the brake lines is essential to ensure no hidden structural rust is developing between the annual test intervals.
