2013 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · SY63 FTK

The current roadworthiness status of this Peugeot 308 is stable, evidenced by a clean pass record spanning the last four consecutive annual inspections. The most recent test conducted on 2 April 2024 at 131,235 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the vehicle has been maintained to a consistent standard. The single failure recorded on 3 March 2021 appears to be an administrative or testing anomaly, as the vehicle passed just two days later with identical mileage and no rectified defects noted. The vehicle has covered 131,235 miles over its thirteen-year lifespan, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. This usage pattern is typical for a car of this age and suggests regular, consistent operation rather than long-term storage or excessive heavy-duty use. The mileage accumulation has remained steady, with the car covering roughly 12,000 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests, which confirms the vehicle is currently in active service. Given the absence of recurring advisories in the MOT history, the primary concern for a prospective buyer is the high total mileage rather than specific mechanical failures. You should prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these components often reach the end of their service life at this mileage. Check the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or scoring, as the clean MOT record does not account for the condition of consumable parts that may have been replaced immediately prior to testing. Inspect the engine bay for signs of oil leaks or perished rubber hoses, as the age of the vehicle makes these items prone to degradation regardless of the clean pass history.
