2002 Peugeot 307 1.6L Petrol · CV52 AAF

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile based on the available MOT history, with the most recent recorded test in September 2022 showing a pass with no defects. While the records show two failures in 2021 and 2022, these appear to be administrative or procedural rather than indicative of a worsening mechanical trend, as the vehicle successfully cleared the testing requirements in subsequent inspections. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 24-year-old vehicle. At 108,625 miles, the car has averaged approximately 4,526 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 103,689 miles in September 2021 to 108,625 miles in September 2022. This suggests the vehicle has seen light, consistent use rather than long periods of stationary storage, which helps mitigate some age-related degradation in rubber components and seals. A physical inspection should focus on age-related wear that the MOT testing regime might not fully capture. Given the low annual mileage, rubber bushings in the suspension and engine mounts may have begun to perish due to time rather than friction. You should specifically check the condition of the coil springs and the integrity of the subframe to ensure no significant corrosion has developed, as these are common points of failure on older Peugeot models. The absence of advisories in the recent history is a positive indicator, but the buyer should still verify the condition of the brake discs and pads. While the MOT records do not flag binding calipers or uneven wear, the low usage pattern can sometimes lead to surface corrosion on braking surfaces. Checking the overall structural integrity and the condition of all suspension bushings remains a priority for a vehicle of this vintage.
