2007 Peugeot 307 1.6L Diesel · KW56 ACV

The Peugeot 307 passed its most recent MOT on 3 February 2023 at 132,390 miles with several advisories but no failures, indicating a broadly stable condition over the prior two years after a poor showing in early 2022. The maintenance trend has moved from acute neglect in January 2022 toward controlled wear by early 2023. Recurring brake disc pitting and tyre edge wear persist, yet no structural corrosion or chassis faults appear in the record. The odometer shows 132,390 miles against a 2007 build, averaging roughly 6,968 miles per year which is typical for the age. Mileage advanced 10,948 miles between the January 2021 pass at 118,497 and the February 2022 pass at 128,445, then only 3,945 miles to the February 2023 test. That slowdown suggests lighter use or periods off the road in the final recorded year. The record is not sparse but shows a heavy fault cluster in January 2022. The January 2022 failure exposed serious neglect: the tester flagged a broken nearside front coil spring, exposed cords on the offside front tyre, excessive track rod end play, and an ABS warning fault alongside multiple lamp failures. Such a list implies the previous owner skipped basic upkeep until forced by the test. By February 2023 the front discs remained pitted and the offside rear tyre wore to the legal edge, while an anti-roll bar ball joint developed slight play. A buyer should inspect the front brake discs for scoring, the offside rear tyre for remaining tread, and the anti-roll bar linkages for play. The January 2021 and 2022 entries noted steering rack inner joint play and rear shock absorber bushes excessively worn, so check those for ongoing wear. Confirm the oil leak from 2021 has not worsened and verify ABS function, as the 2022 lamp fault required correction before the pass.
