2009 Peugeot 308 1.6L Petrol · SC09 AWH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test on 4 June 2024 at 63,296 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a curious failure just one day prior at 63,292 miles. Since the failure record lists no specific defects, this likely indicates an administrative error or a minor technicality that was rectified immediately, rather than a mechanical trend or recurring component failure. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,700 miles per year. Between October 2021 and June 2024, the car covered only 7,019 miles, confirming a pattern of light-duty use. The recorded figure of 63,296 miles suggests the engine has seen minimal internal stress. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long periods of the vehicle sitting stationary can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components, seals, and fluid chemistry which mileage alone cannot capture. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age-related decay despite low-mileage. Given the age of the 308, check the structural integrity for corrosion on the rear sills and wheel mounting points where Peugeot models of this era often suffer. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or perish, as rubber degrades over time regardless of distance. Because the MOT record has not flagged binding calipers or brake leaks, verify the brake discs for surface pitting or corrosion which often occurs on vehicles that are driven infrequently.
