Peugeot 308 Sport HDI 107bhp (2009)
2009 Peugeot 308 Sport HDI 107bhp
CarHunch analysed 149 real MOT records for the 2009 Peugeot 308 Sport HDI 107bhp. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2009 Peugeot 308 Sport HDi is notably unreliable by UK standards, with only 66.6% of vehicles passing their MOT first time against the national average of 80%. The diesel engine shows no particular weakness compared to petrol alternatives, and reassuringly, none of the 149 vehicles analysed have ever recorded a dangerous defect.
At 112,452 miles median mileage, these cars are well-used for their age, yet they're still generating an average of 1.07 failures per test—suggesting wear-related problems are common rather than age-related quirks. If you're considering this model, factor in regular repair costs and have a pre-purchase inspection focus on the diesel engine, gearbox, and suspension components where failures cluster.
What to check before buying a 2009 Peugeot 308 Sport HDI 107bhp
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.
