2004 Peugeot 307 1.4L Petrol · AF54 VDA

The 2004 Peugeot 307 presents a stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 23 October 2025 at 126,672 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results since March 2022. The maintenance trend is steady with no advisories or recurring faults flagged across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 126,672 against an age of around 22 years, equating to roughly 5,758 miles per year. The October 2024 test at 123,303 miles and October 2023 at 121,024 miles show gentle annual use of about 2,300 miles. A notable gap appears between the March 2022 pass at 119,082 miles and the October 2023 test, with no entries for the interim period. The same-day fail and pass on 23 March 2022 at identical mileage suggests an administrative or minor presentation issue rather than a mechanical defect, as no faults were listed on either certificate. Low mileage for a vehicle of this age can mask deterioration from prolonged standing. The clean MOT record gives no cause for alarm on paper, yet a buyer should physically inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe mounting points for perishing or corrosion that static storage accelerates. Brake discs and calipers warrant checks for binding or surface pitting after low-use periods. Exhaust emissions and structural integrity showed no advisories, but a 22-year-old Peugeot 307 demands a visual check of sills, floor pan, and rear axle for rust. Verify the timing belt and coolant history, as these are absent from MOT data yet critical on a low-mileage ageing petrol unit.
