2018 Peugeot 308 1.5L Diesel · YK18 ABZ

The 2018 Peugeot 308 demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with the most recent MOT on 2025-05-12 at 70,198 miles recording a pass and no defects. This follows a 2023-08-14 test at 52,635 miles also passing without issues. A prior failure on 2023-08-02 at 52,560 miles was noted but with no defects recorded, suggesting a technical or procedural error rather than a mechanical fault. The absence of recurring issues in subsequent tests indicates consistent maintenance, though the brief interval between the failed and passed tests raises questions about the nature of the initial failure. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage, averaging 8,775 miles annually. The 2022-05-24 test at 39,413 miles and subsequent 2022-08-09 test at 39,422 miles show minimal mileage change, possibly reflecting periods of inactivity. From 2022-08-09 to 2023-08-14, the vehicle accumulated 13,213 miles, a rate consistent with regular use. No significant gaps or rapid accumulation are evident, though the sparse defect data limits insight into wear patterns. A buyer should inspect suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, for wear given the vehicle’s age. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as these can develop without triggering MOT failures. The exhaust system requires scrutiny for corrosion or leaks, as emissions compliance does not guarantee structural integrity. No signs of rust or structural damage appear in the records, but a physical inspection remains essential to confirm the absence of hidden issues.
