2018 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · SF68 AEU

This Peugeot 308 presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean MOT record. The most recent test on 25 June 2025 at 128,430 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to October 2021, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that consistently meets minimum legal requirements. The mileage is high for an eight year old vehicle, averaging over 16,000 miles annually. A significant jump in usage occurred between October 2021 and October 2022, where the odometer rose from 86,487 to 114,380 miles. More recently, the vehicle covered 11,322 miles between May 2024 and June 2025. This high-mileage usage typically accelerates the wear of drivetrain components and suspension systems. Despite the absence of MOT failures, the high mileage necessitates a physical inspection of common wear points. A buyer should check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often degrade under high mileage even if they remain functional enough to pass a test. The brake discs and pads should be measured for remaining thickness to ensure they are not nearing the end of their service life. Given the vehicle's age and distance travelled, an inspection for underbody corrosion is advisable. While the DVSA records show no structural failures, high-mileage cars often hide surface rust or degradation on the chassis and exhaust system that does not always trigger a failure until it becomes critical. Checking the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements is also essential, as these are critical maintenance items for this engine.
