Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Peugeot 308 GT Puretech S/s Auto?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

What corrosion should I look for when inspecting a 2022 Peugeot 308 GT Puretech S/s Auto?

Check brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that is expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.

How are tyres and brakes typically on a 2022 Peugeot 308 GT Puretech S/s Auto?

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

Do I need an HPI check when buying a 2022 Peugeot 308 GT Puretech S/s Auto?

Moderate sample. 353 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.

This 2022 Peugeot 308 GT is a strong performer on the MOT bench, with a 91.7% first-time pass rate that sits well above the UK average of 80%, and only 4% of vehicles ever flagged with a dangerous defect—a reassuringly low figure.
