2018 Peugeot 308 2.0L Diesel · WT18 AAN

The 2018 Peugeot 308 is currently roadworthy, holding a valid MOT issued on 24 March 2026 at 129,126 miles. The most recent test recorded only minor advisories—an oil leak under clause 8.4.1(a)(i) and an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit under clause 5.2.3(e). The pattern since 2021 shows an improving trend: earlier failures such as missing wheel fixings in 2025 have been rectified, yet the oil leak persists across two consecutive passes. Mileage accumulation at 129,126 miles over eight model years equates to about 16,100 miles per year, a rate that exceeds typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The MOT record shows a largely annual testing cadence, with the 2025 pass at 120,874 miles followed by a same‑day failure and immediate retest on the same date, indicating rapid fault correction. The gap between the 2025 and 2026 tests is roughly sixteen months, slightly longer than the standard yearly interval, but the recent test confirms the vehicle remains within the legal framework. A prospective buyer should inspect the oil system for signs of leak progression, check the offside front tyre tread depth and edge wear, and verify that all wheel studs and hub fixing bolts are present and torqued correctly. Given the high mileage, the brake discs, pads, and suspension bushes should be examined for uneven wear or corrosion, and the chassis for rust around wheel arches and underbody panels. Visual inspection of the exhaust for oil contamination and a thorough suspension geometry check will help identify any developing issues that the advisories may hint at.
