2012 Peugeot 308 Active HDI 1.6L Diesel · XH11 ART

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 14 November 2025 at 104,551 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a technical failure just ten days prior at 104,299 miles. This suggests the previous owner was proactive in rectifying issues identified by the tester, ensuring the car met the minimum safety standards for the current period. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, with roughly 6,400 miles covered between December 2023 and November 2024, and approximately 8,000 miles covered between November 2024 and November 2025. This regularity indicates the car has not been left sitting for long periods, which generally benefits the rubber components, seals, and braking system from degradation often seen in stationary low-mileage vehicles. While the recent pass shows no defects, the recurring failures in late 2023 and 2025 indicate that the vehicle occasionally operates on the threshold of legal compliance. A buyer should physically inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common points of failure on this Peugeot model. Given the age of the car, a close look at structural corrosion on the rear sills and the state of the brake brake discs is also necessary to ensure no hidden mechanical issues are developing between the annual inspections.
