2012 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · SY62 RYU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT test in October 2024 at 99,240 miles with no recorded defects. While the history shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes, these appear to be minor issues rectified prior to testing rather than signs of systemic mechanical decline. The lack of advisories on the latest two tests suggests the car is currently in a good state regarding its primary safety components and structural integrity. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,100 miles per annum. Between October 2022 (81,237 miles) and October 2023 (92,836 miles), the car covered over 11,000 miles, indicating a period of higher use. The more recent interval saw only 6,404 miles covered. Given the current's current date, the vehicle has not undergone significant mileage in the last nine months, which generally limits the rate of wear on the drivetrain and rubber components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension system and brake components, as these are the areas likely to show age on a Peugeot 308 of this era. Despite the clean recent records, the age of the vehicle necessitates checking for perished arm bushes and signs of corrosion on the coil springs. Examine the brake discs for excessive pitting or thinning, ensuring that the previous failures did not have been related to restricted movement or light-related issues which are common points of failure for this model.
