2008 Peugeot 308 1.6L Petrol · SL08 ACU

The 2008 Peugeot 308 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 2 September 2024 at 102,500 miles where the tester recorded no defects. The vehicle has passed every MOT in the available history without advisories or failures, indicating consistent compliance across the five-year span from 2020 to 2024. Annual mileage sits low for an eighteen-year-old car. The record shows 70,299 miles on 25 September 2020, rising to 72,621 by 16 September 2021, 77,254 by 27 September 2022, 88,263 by 31 August 2023, and 102,500 by 2 September 2024. That averages roughly 5,700 miles per year, with the largest single jump of 14,237 miles occurring between the 2023 and 2024 tests. The clean pass history with no flagged wear items suggests the previous owners kept basic upkeep current rather than deferring consumables. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points, as the MOT record shows no advisories but does not confirm the condition of subframes, sills, or suspension bushes after eighteen years. Peugeot 308 chassis areas are prone to hidden rust where the tester cannot always record early-stage decay. Brake discs, coil springs, and exhaust emissions should be physically checked despite the clean passes. Low annual use combined with the 2023 to 2024 mileage surge may have left calipers or flexible hoses unstressed for long periods then loaded suddenly. Verify tyre age and condition, since no tread or sidewall faults appear in the data but rubber degrades with time irrespective of miles.
