2018 Peugeot 308 1.5L Diesel · SH18 AEK

The 2018 Peugeot 308 presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 18 March 2026 at 78,944 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Across five consecutive annual examinations from June 2022 to March 2026, the vehicle cleared every assessment without advisories on braking, suspension, emissions, or structural integrity. This uninterrupted sequence indicates consistent upkeep and no worsening mechanical faults. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for an eight-year-old hatchback, averaging roughly 9,868 miles per year against the recorded 78,944 miles. The test on 8 June 2022 at 47,203 miles and the subsequent 5 June 2023 entry at 56,712 miles show a steady roughly 9,500-mile yearly spread. A longer gap appears between the June 2023 and March 2024 tests, where the odometer read 64,557 miles, and this 7,845-mile gain over nine months reflects slightly reduced usage rather than rapid accumulation. The sparse but clean record offers little evidence of neglect, suggesting previous owners adhered to scheduled testing and likely addressed consumables proactively. Despite the absence of flagged defects, a buyer should still commission an independent inspection of core mechanical and structural elements before purchase. At eight years old, suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs naturally incur wear even without MOT advisories. The tester recorded no corrosion or structural concerns, yet hidden rust on sills or subframes can evade a visual roadside check. Verify the condition of tyres and wiper blades as minor consumables, and confirm service history matches the low advisory profile.
