2009 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · RF09 FUB

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, passing its most recent inspection in July 2025 at 129,268 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows recurring issues with minor components that require periodic attention between tests. While the car consistently passes the MOT, the presence of engine covers and under-trays obscuring the view across multiple years is a recurring fault that hinders thorough visual inspections of mechanical components. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 129,268 represents an annual average of approximately 7,600 miles, which aligns with typical usage for an older hatchback. The data shows consistent use, with roughly 3,000 miles driven between the July 2024 and 2025 tests. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and internal engine seizing. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The 2024 test flagged a nearside front anti-roll bar ball joint with play and an offside front tyre worn to the legal limit, indicating potential alignment issues or accelerated component wear. The 2021 record also noted pitted and scored rear brake discs, so the buyer must verify the current condition of the rotors and ensure no significant corrosion has progressed. Given the recurring issue with under-trays, a manual check of the chassis for structural integrity is necessary to ensure no hidden rust is developing beneath the tester's view.
