2018 Peugeot 308 1.2L Petrol · SJ18 MKG

This Peugeot 308 presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass rate. The most recent test on 9 January 2026 at 104,872 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a pattern of five consecutive clean passes dating back to December 2021, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that consistently meets minimum legal requirements. The mileage is high for an eight year old vehicle, averaging over 13,000 miles per year. A significant increase in usage occurred between December 2022 and January 2024, where the odometer rose from 49,357 to 75,123 miles. This period of heavy use indicates the car likely served as a long distance commuter. The mileage accumulation has since stabilised, with roughly 6,700 miles added between January 2025 and January 2026. While the MOT history is exceptionally clean, the lack of any recorded advisories over five years is unusual for a car exceeding 100,000 miles. A buyer should personally inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for wear that may not have reached a failure threshold but is expected at this mileage. Particular attention should be paid to the condition of the drivetrain and the presence of any oil leaks, as the high mileage increases the likelihood of seal degradation. Check for any signs of structural corrosion on the underbody, as the MOT record does not provide detail on the severity of surface rust if it did not trigger a failure. Verify the service history to ensure that oil changes and timing belt intervals have been adhered to, as the DVSA record only confirms roadworthiness rather than comprehensive mechanical health.
