2010 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · WJ10 SHV

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 7 August 2025 at 57,621 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car consistently achieves passes following initial test failures. The pattern of failure followed by immediate success in both 2024 and 2025 suggests that the owner is proactive in rectifying defects identified by the tester, rather than allowing mechanical or structural issues to persist over time. The mileage profile is notably low for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,600 miles per year. Between July 2023 at 49,541 miles and August 2024 at 54,939 miles, the car covered roughly 5,000 miles in a single year. This low usage frequency indicates the engine and drivetrain components have seen limited-duty stress. While low mileage reduces wear on braking systems and suspension, it often increases the risk of age-related degradation of rubber seals and fluids that do not benefit from regular thermal cycling. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components most susceptible to age-related decay rather than mileage wear. The record shows no recurring mechanical failures or structural corrosion issues, but the low mileage warrants a close check of perished suspension bushes, split hoses, and tyre cracks. Given the vehicle's age, verify the brake discs for pitting and inspect the exhaust system for surface rust, as vehicles that sit stationary are prone to internal oxidation. The clean history of advisories suggests the vehicle has been well-kept despite its years.
