2012 Peugeot 308 Active HDI 1.6L Diesel · WL62 AHY

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status with a notably improving maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted in January 2026 at 131,985 miles returned with no defects or advisories. This indicates that the current owner has successfully addressed previous mechanical concerns and that the vehicle has met all minimum safety and emission standards in the last several testing cycles. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,400 miles per year. There was a significant gap of over 38,000 miles between May 2019 and November 2021, followed by a more rapid accumulation of roughly 23,000 miles in the following two years. The recent interval of 4,515 miles since the July 2024 test suggests the car is currently being used regularly, which generally helps prevent components like brake seals from seizing due to long periods of inactivity. A physical inspection should focus on the front braking system, as the 2019 record flagged thin offside front brake pads and pitted inner brake discs. While these appear to have been replaced since, a buyer should check for uneven pad wear or lateral judder during braking which might indicate sticking calipers. Given the age of the Peugeot, the inspector should also examine the underbody for structural corrosion and check suspension bushes for tearing, as the 2019 advisory noted that under shields were obscuring components, potentially hiding early-stage surface rust.
