Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for those seeking a
When inspecting this specific 1.6L petrol 308, pay close attention to the drive shaft area. The MOT history shows two consecutive failures for a split offside front outer CV boot in 2024 and 2025; ensure this part has been replaced with a high-quality component and not just patched.
Given the low mileage, check for signs of age-related deterioration rather than wear. Specifically, look for perished rubber components, as the 2023 MOT noted cracked and perished tyres. You should also verify that the service history matches the low mileage, ensuring that even if the car hasn't been driven much, it has been serviced annually to maintain the 1598cc engine.
The 1.6L petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group and tax band, making it suitable for many UK drivers. Fuel economy for this model variant is typically efficient for a petrol hatchback of this era.
Maintenance costs should be standard for a Peugeot, though you should budget for items like tyres and suspension components which have appeared in the MOT history. An estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, is approximately £1,100-£1,400 depending on your annual mileage and insurance profile.
Focus your inspection on the front suspension and drivetrain. The MOT records explicitly highlight an issue with the offside front outer drive shaft joint constant velocity boot in both 2024 and 2025. Check for any clicking noises when turning the steering wheel at low speeds, which could indicate the CV joint itself has been damaged by the split boot.
Additionally, inspect the condition of all tyres. The 2023 MOT advisory noted that tyres were slightly cracked and perished; check that the current set has sufficient tread depth and shows no signs of sidewall cracking or age-related degradation. Finally, check the headlights, as 'headlamp' is a top failure reason for this model aggregate.
This 2014 white Peugeot 308 has covered 39,107 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average of 7,264 miles per year. The MOT history is relatively sparse, with three recorded tests showing mostly clean passes. While there have been recent failures related to a drive shaft CV boot, these appear to have been addressed promptly.
The Peugeot 308 shows an average MOT pass rate of 76.6% across the analysed sample, with common failures relating to lighting, tyres, and exhausts.
