Our Verdict
This Peugeot 308 represents a relatively stable purchase option for those seeking a diesel hatchback. While it has seen its share of minor issues, the recent clean MOT history is a positive indicator for a vehicle of this age.
When inspecting this 2009 diesel model, focus on the service history to ensure the timing belt and water pump have been replaced according to manufacturer intervals, as this is critical for the 1560cc engine. Given the high mileage relative to the model average, check for any signs of clutch wear or flywheel vibration, which are common in high-mileage diesel hatchbacks.
Negotiate based on the fact that the vehicle has covered over 100,000 miles. While the most recent MOT was clean, always verify that the previous failure in 2023 was fully rectified and that there are no lingering advisories regarding suspension or braking components that might have been missed in the summary.
As a 1.6L diesel, this Peugeot 308 is designed for efficiency on longer journeys, though fuel costs will depend on your annual mileage. Tax bands for 2009 models vary, so check the specific V5C document for the exact rate.
Maintenance costs for this model are generally moderate, but you should budget for typical diesel engine upkeep, such as fuel filter changes and potential DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) considerations if used primarily for short urban trips. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, is approximately £1,100-£1,400.
Review the MOT history specifically for the failure recorded in March 2023; although no specific defect was listed in the summary provided, you should confirm what caused the failure. Based on aggregate data for this model, pay close attention to the headlamps, tyre condition, and drive shaft joints, as these are the most frequent failure points.
Additionally, inspect the silver paintwork for any signs of corrosion and check the underside of the vehicle for any signs of leaks or excessive wear to the suspension components, which can be common in vehicles exceeding 100,000 miles.
Registered in June 2009, this silver 1.6L diesel Peugeot 308 has covered 100,825 miles as of its last MOT in March 2024. The mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 7,285 miles per year, which is typical for a diesel engine of this era. The MOT history shows one failure in March 2023, but the two most recent tests have passed without any recorded defects.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 76.6%, with common failures related to headlamps, tyres, and drive shaft joints.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2009 model year cars.
- 1.6 THP timing-chain stretchSerious
Prince engine chain and carbon issues.
- DPF Clogging on HDi DieselsModerate
The 1.6 HDi and 2.0 HDi diesels are prone to diesel particulate filter clogging, especially on short urban trips. A blocked DPF triggers limp mode, excessive fuel consumption and can eventually damage the turbo.
- Flywheel (DMF) Vibration and WearModerate
The dual-mass flywheel on diesel models can develop excessive play, causing vibration at idle, judder during take-off and a rattling noise. Replacement is expensive as the clutch must come off at the same time.
