Peugeot 308 GT Line HDI Blue S/s (2017)
2017 Peugeot 308 GT Line HDI Blue S/s
CarHunch analysed 181 real MOT records for the 2017 Peugeot 308 GT Line HDI Blue S/s. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2017 Peugeot 308 GT Line diesel is a below-average performer: 69% of vehicles pass their MOT first time against the UK average of 80%, and no dangerous defects have been recorded, but the weak pass rate suggests developing issues are common in this cohort. The diesel variant (which makes up 99% of the sample) shows no meaningful advantage, failing at the same rate as the overall group.
At around 70,000 miles for a seven-year-old car, these vehicles are running at a typical mileage, yet each car averages 0.3 failures per test—more than you'd expect from routine wear. Before buying one, have a pre-purchase inspection focus on the diesel engine condition and emissions system, as the pattern of failures suggests these are where problems concentrate.
What to check before buying a 2017 Peugeot 308 GT Line HDI Blue S/s
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.
