2009 Peugeot 308 2.0L Diesel · RE09 AEC

The 2009 Peugeot 308 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 12 February 2026 at 89,342 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior annual tests in February 2025 at 85,446 miles and February 2024 at 81,735 miles also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no escalating faults or recurring advisories across the available record. Mileage sits at 89,342 against an age of roughly seventeen years, equating to about 5,255 miles per year and confirming light use for its class. The gap between the 31 January 2023 test at 68,641 miles and the February 2024 entries at 81,735 miles accounts for around 13,000 miles in a single year, the only notable accumulation spike in the data. Otherwise the history is sparse and clean, with the February 2024 failure on the 5th followed two days later by a pass at identical mileage and no defects logged, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue at the first centre rather than a mechanical defect. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the vehicle's age and low annual use, as standing periods accelerate rust where road salt contacts structural members. Brake discs and calipers warrant physical checks for binding or uneven wear despite the clean MOT outcomes. The absence of recorded advisories across five tests implies previous owners addressed consumables before each examination, but DVSA tests do not strip components, so hidden fatigue in steering joints and exhaust hangers remains a risk on a 2009 chassis.
