2007 Peugeot 307 1.6L Petrol · CN07 FXC

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT test on 20 May 2026 at 54,812 miles, though the tester issued advisories for both front tyres being worn close to the legal limit. The maintenance history shows a clear deterioration in 2023 followed by a period of apparent stability. A significant failure occurred on 10 May 2023 at 46,976 miles for a split offside front CV boot, corroded offside front coil spring, and worn front and rear brake discs. These same components, except the CV boot, were subsequently recorded as advisories on the passed test later that same day, indicating the primary failure was rectified but underlying wear on the suspension and braking system persisted. No major faults have been recorded since, suggesting the critical repairs were undertaken and the vehicle has remained mechanically sound for the subsequent three years. The recorded mileage pattern is notably low, averaging approximately 2,885 miles annually over its 19-year lifespan. The usage is not consistent; between the May 2023 test (46,976 miles) and the May 2024 test (47,083 miles), only 107 miles were added, suggesting a period of prolonged inactivity. This was followed by a more typical increase of 4,094 miles to the May 2025 test (51,177 miles) and a final 3,635 miles to the present reading. Such intermittent use, particularly long periods standing, can exacerbate corrosion on components like suspension springs and can cause brake discs to develop surface rust, though the 2023 advisories noted wear rather than just corrosion. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension, specifically the offside coil spring for advanced corrosion as previously flagged, and examine both front brake discs for scoring or pitting beyond what is considered acceptable wear. The drivetrain requires checking the condition of the front CV joints and boots, as a split boot previously allowed dirt ingress which can lead to joint failure. The immediate priority is the front tyres, which are legally worn and require replacement before safe use. The low overall mileage suggests other rubber components, such as engine and gearbox mounts, may be brittle due to age rather than wear. The history implies the previous owner addressed a serious mechanical failure but neglected routine consumable maintenance like tyre tread depth.
