Peugeot 308 (2014)
2014 Peugeot 308
CarHunch analysed 13,423 real MOT records for the 2014 Peugeot 308. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2014 Peugeot 308 sits just above the UK average at 80.5% first-time pass rate, but nearly half of these cars have recorded a dangerous defect at some point—a notably high figure that warrants a thorough pre-purchase inspection. Petrol versions pass more reliably than diesels (83.5% versus 79.8%), so if you're choosing between the two, the petrol is the safer bet.
At 64,000 miles median mileage, these 10-year-old cars are running fairly typically for their age, but the average vehicle racks up 2.3 failures and 12.8 advisories per test, pointing to a model prone to incremental wear issues rather than catastrophic problems. Budget for regular maintenance and get a full diagnostic history before buying—the high dangerous-defect rate means knowing what's been fixed and what remains lurking.
Petrol vs Diesel
Pass rate difference of 3.8 percentage points — worth knowing if you're choosing between the two.
What to check before buying a 2014 Peugeot 308
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.
- ⚠️ 49.4% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
