2003 Peugeot 307 2.0L Diesel · BJ03 WXM

The vehicle presents a questionable roadworthiness status due to a lack of recent testing data spanning nearly four years. While the last recorded test passed in May 2022 at 92,571 miles, the car is now overdue for an MOT as of June 2026. The maintenance trend shows a period of mechanical neglect leading into the 2022 failure, where multiple faults across the steering, suspension, and braking were identified simultaneously, though these were theoretically addressed to secure the final pass. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 23-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. The data reveals a significant stagnation in usage between 2019 and 2022, where the vehicle covered only 90 miles from 92,481 to 92,571. This pattern suggests the car has sat for long periods, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and the seizing of fluids, evidenced by the perished tyres and split bushes noted in the 2022 records. A physical inspection must prioritize the structural integrity of the rear suspension mountings. The record consistently flags corrosion on the rear lower suspension mounting areas since 2018, and a buyer must verify that this has not progressed into a structural failure. The buyer should also inspect the steering rack inner joints for play, as this was a recurring issue in both 2019 and 2022. The braking system shows a history of pitted and scored discs across all four wheels, which is consistent with low-mileage use where rust accumulates. Given the reported oil leak in May 2022, a thorough check of the engine bay is required to ensure no active leaks have worsened. Furthermore, the offside front drive shaft CV boot was a failure point in 2022 and must be checked for tears or grease leakage which would indicate imminent joint failure.
