2010 Peugeot 308: petrol or diesel?

Petrol, diesel and hybrid versions go wrong in different ways, so each has its own figures from the MOTs these cars had during 2023–2025. Pick the one you’re looking at: the fuel is on the logbook and in the car’s MOT history.

Petrol 55% pass first time (all 2010 cars: 60%) Stands out: engine oil leaks 2.1×, headlights 2.1×, exhaust emissions (catalyst) 5.3× 13,867 MOTsSee the petrol guide › Diesel 52% pass first time (all 2010 cars: 60%) Stands out: engine oil leaks 2.1×, brake discs 1.6×, number plate lights 1.7× 22,257 MOTsSee the diesel guide ›

Hybrid versions had too few MOTs for figures of their own, or weren’t sold.
