2004 Peugeot 307 2.0L Petrol · PN54 AGV

The vehicle is not currently roadworthy; the most recent MOT test on 15 March 2023 recorded a failure due to excessive oil leakage, an inoperative registration plate lamp, a damaged offside rear tyre, and worn front brake discs together with excessively worn anti‑roll bar ball joints on both front sides. The pattern of failures over the past decade shows a clear worsening trend: early tests in 2014‑2016 were largely clean, but from 2017 onward recurring issues in the suspension, steering, braking and engine oil systems have increased in frequency and severity. The 2023 result confirms that these problems have not been resolved and that the car now requires substantial mechanical attention before it can be considered fit for the road. Mileage data indicate a steady increase up to late 2021, reaching roughly 112 500 miles by November 2021, after which no further mileage entries appear despite the vehicle being over three years old. The growth from 2016 (≈90 000 miles) to 2021 (≈112 500 miles) represents about 22 000 miles in five years, a moderate rate, while the absence of any mileage reading after 2021 suggests either a period of inactivity or incomplete record‑keeping. The last MOT was conducted in March 2023, more than three years before the present date of 30 July 2026, meaning the vehicle is well beyond its legal MOT interval and lacks a current roadworthiness certification. A prospective buyer should inspect the engine for oil seepage at the sump and valve cover, check the anti‑roll bar ball joints for excessive play or wear, and examine the front suspension bushings, track‑rod ends and constant‑velocity boot condition for deterioration. Brake discs and pads must be inspected for uneven wear and scoring, while the steering rack should be tested for excessive play at the inner joint. Tyre condition, especially the offside rear and front tyres, needs close scrutiny for cracking, uneven wear and shape distortion. The wiper blades and rear‑window cleaning system should be tested for effective clearing, and the exhaust mounting examined for inadequate support. Finally, any signs of corrosion on the coil springs and rust on suspension arms should be noted, as these indicate long‑term exposure to moisture and potential structural compromise.
