2012 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · SH12 UFK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent MOT history. The de-fact test conducted on 16 June 2025 at 63,401 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, despite an initial failure on the same day. This suggests that a specific issue was identified and rectified immediately to ensure the vehicle met minimum legal standards, maintaining a clean record without lingering advisories over the last several years. The mileage profile is notably low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap between the November 2022 test at 48,389 miles and the June 2025 test at 63,401 miles, during which the car covered 15,012 miles. While low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, the long intervals between tests can lead to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and potential surface corrosion on brake lines. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age-related decay rather than mileage-related wear. Since the record does not specify the causes for the failures in 2022 and 2025, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and tyre sidewall cracks is necessary. Given the low usage, verify the age of the tyres to prevent rot and inspect the brake discs for pitting or seizing, as these often suffer when vehicles sit for extended periods.
