Our Verdict
This 2014 Peugeot 308 presents moderate risks due to recent suspension and oil issues, but its age and mileage make it a potential value purchase for a mechanically inclined buyer.
Prioritize a full mechanical inspection of the suspension system, focusing on the nearside front coil spring and suspension arms identified in the 2024 failure. Check for persistent oil leaks and verify if repairs were completed. Review service records for maintenance of the 1.56L diesel engine. Be prepared to negotiate 15-20% below market value given the failure history, but consider the vehicle if the price reflects these risks. Avoid if you lack confidence in assessing suspension component wear.
Diesel fuel economy averages 55-60 mpg on the combined cycle, with £1,200-£1,500 annual fuel costs at 8,000-10,000 miles. Road tax is £140 annually (zero emission rate). Insurance group 16 places it in the mid-range for diesel cars. Major maintenance costs could reach £500-£800 for suspension repairs, with typical annual running costs estimated at £1,800-£2,200.
Inspect the nearside front coil spring and suspension arms for fatigue cracks or deformation. Check under the engine for oil stains indicating persistent leaks. Measure tyre tread depth on all tyres, particularly the rear ones noted in 2023. Test brake disc thickness and look for pitting on the front discs. Verify the vehicle's service history for diesel-specific maintenance like DPF cleaning. Check for rust on the white paintwork, which can hide underlying body corrosion.
The vehicle has a mixed MOT history with significant suspension and oil-related failures in 2024, though some years show no defects. At 82,761 miles, it exceeds average mileage for its age, but the diesel engine and white paintwork offer some appeal. No model-wide reliability data is available to contextualize these issues.
No aggregate reliability data available for the Peugeot 308 model, making it difficult to assess if these issues are typical for this year or engine variant.
