2016 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · YF66 CWC

The 2016 Peugeot 308 presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 21 October 2025 at 122,316 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. This followed a failed attempt on the same date at 122,314 miles where the tester logged no defects, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior annual tests in October 2024, 2023, and 2022 all passed cleanly at 106,933, 94,018, and 84,956 miles respectively. The mileage pattern shows consistent annual use of roughly 10,000 to 12,000 miles, with the car now at 122,316 miles against a ten-year age. This sits above the typical average and reflects steady high-distance commuting rather than neglect or long standing periods. The record shows no gaps between tests and no rapid accumulation spikes; each October examination aligns with expected yearly wear. Clean sheets across five consecutive tests suggest the previous owner kept basic consumables and emissions within limits. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high mileage and age. The MOT history flags no corrosion or structural integrity issues, but annual passing without advisories does not capture wear beneath test thresholds. Examine the exhaust for internal degradation and check the drivetrain for NVH at 122,000 miles. Given the identical-day fail and pass in October 2025, verify the V5C and test certificate to confirm no suppressed defect. The clean record implies disciplined upkeep, yet the Peugeot's age demands scrutiny of the timing belt and clutch that MOT tests do not assess.
