2018 Peugeot 308 1.5L Diesel · SF68 AAK

In the 5 January 2022 MOT at 28,090 miles, the tester recorded a pass with no defects or advisories. This single clean result confirms the car met roadworthiness standards that day, yet the lone entry prevents assessment of a stable, worsening or improving trend. The absence of flagged items indicates suspension, braking, emissions and structure satisfied requirements at the time. Registered in 2018, the car showed 28,090 miles on the January 2022 test, implying about 7,000 miles annually across its first four years. Against today's date of 20 July 2026, that same odometer reading yields an average near 3,500 miles per year over eight years, a low figure for the age. A four-year gap separates the 2022 test from the present with no further MOT in the supplied data; such a void hints at prolonged storage, a lapsed certificate, or incomplete records. Light use paired with testing dormancy demands caution. No historical faults guide targeted checks, so the buyer must scrutinise common age and standstill issues. The tester logged no suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs or corrosion problems in 2022, but extended inactivity degrades rubber and metal. Inspect suspension arms for perished bushes, examine calipers for binding after idle, and check discs for surface rust. Assess tyre sidewalls for crazing and verify exhaust emissions remain within limits. Confirm structural integrity of sills and subframe for rust. The clean pass suggests the former keeper maintained basic compliance, yet missing later tests leave current condition unproven. Prioritise an independent mechanical inspection given the likely static history since January 2022.
