2010 Peugeot 308 1.6L Petrol · RE10 FPY

The MOT history for this 2010 Peugeot 308 shows an inconsistent pattern of compliance. While the vehicle passed its most recent test on 15 August 2025, the record shows a recurring cycle of failures followed by immediate passes. The tester recorded a failure on 08 August 2025, just one week before the passing result, mirroring a similar situation in August 2024 where the vehicle failed on 19 August before passing on 21 August. This pattern of failing and then passing within a very short window suggests that specific defects are being identified and rectified immediately to meet minimum standards, rather than indicating a trend of preventative maintenance. The vehicle has covered 86,586 miles over its sixteen-year lifespan, averaging approximately 5,412 miles per year. This represents low annual usage for a vehicle of this age. The record shows consistent annual testing from October 2023 through to August 2025, providing a relatively recent data set. However, the lack of recorded mileage for the specific test dates makes it impossible to determine if the vehicle is being driven in short, infrequent bursts or if the low mileage is due to long periods of inactivity. Because the MOT records for 2024 and 2025 show failures without specific defect descriptions, the exact mechanical nature of these faults remains unknown. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, specifically checking for binding calipers or worn discs, and examine the suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, for signs of deterioration. Given the low annual mileage, it is also necessary to inspect the vehicle for signs of age-related corrosion on the underside and check the condition of rubber components like hoses and seals, which can perish when a vehicle is driven infrequently. buying_score: 55 risk_level: Medium.
