2022 Peugeot 308 Active Prem Sw B HDI S/s A
CarHunch analysed 425 real MOT records for the 2022 Peugeot 308 Active Prem Sw B HDI S/s A. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2022 Peugeot 308 diesel estate passes its MOT first time only 70.8% of the time, notably below the UK average of 80%, which suggests it's less reliable than the typical car at this age. The dangerous defect rate of 2.6% is reassuringly low, so structural or safety issues aren't a widespread concern, but the below-average pass rate points to a pattern of smaller breakdowns catching owners out.
At 53,600 median miles for a two-year-old vehicle, these cars are running at a typical mileage for their age, yet they're averaging 0.09 failures and 0.7 advisories per test—a relatively clean record once they get to the test bay. The real signal is that almost 30% need repairs before they can pass, suggesting you should budget for unexpected work in the first few years of ownership and get a detailed pre-purchase inspection focusing on the electrical and emissions systems common to this diesel engine.
What to check before buying a 2022 Peugeot 308 Active Prem Sw B HDI S/s A
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
