2007 Peugeot 307 1.6L Petrol · DF07 CXS

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a concerning trend of reactive repairs rather than proactive preventative care. The most recent test in November 2025 at 75,490 miles flagged thin front brake pads and a missing offside rear outer lens cover. While the car passes, the recurring presence of minor defects across the last four years suggests that the owner only addresses issues when they reach the MOT failure threshold rather than during regular service intervals. At 19 years old, the recorded 75,490 miles is significantly below average, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. This low usage pattern explains the specific type of degradation seen in the records. Between September 2021 and September 2024, the vehicle covered only 5,528 miles, yet the tester found all four tyres showing signs of perishing and cracking. Such a low-mileage profile often leads to rubber components like tyres and CV boots failing due to age and lack of heat cycling rather than mechanical tread wear. A buyer must physically inspect the condition of all four tyres, as the record shows a persistent history of perishing and cracking on every axle dating back to 2022. The severely deteriorated offside front drive shaft CV boot noted in 2023 indicates that rubber components are failing due to age-related dryness despite low use. Additionally, the thin brake pads identified in the 2025 test suggest the braking system is nearing a service limit. Given the age of this Peugeot 307, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the wheel arches and sills is essential, as low-use vehicles often remain stationary for long periods where moisture can settle and accelerate rust.
