Peugeot 308 Sport HDI (2010)
2010 Peugeot 308 Sport HDI
CarHunch analysed 131 real MOT records for the 2010 Peugeot 308 Sport HDI. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2010 Peugeot 308 Sport HDi passes its MOT first time in 71.5% of cases, notably below the UK average of 80%, suggesting this diesel model is less reliable than typical cars of its age. The good news is that dangerous defects are virtually non-existent in this cohort, and advisories are rare, meaning failures tend to be minor rather than safety-critical.
At 114,000 miles median mileage, these cars have been driven hard but not excessively for a 14-year-old model. With an average of 1.38 failures per test, you're looking at routine wear items and exhaust issues rather than major mechanical problems — but expect to budget for repairs more often than you would with a more typical diesel hatchback. Before buying, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on the DPF (diesel particulate filter) and emissions system, as these are common weak points on older Peugeot diesels.
What to check before buying a 2010 Peugeot 308 Sport HDI
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.
