2008 Peugeot 307 1.6L Diesel · KM08 FFC

The 2008 Peugeot 307 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT test on 15 October 2025 at 107,717 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. Maintenance trend across the supplied history reads stable. The vehicle passed again on 14 October 2024 at 106,300 miles and 14 October 2023 at 104,080 miles, both with clean sheets. Two anomalous failures appear on 4 October 2023 at 104,026 miles and 9 October 2024 at 106,278 miles, yet the record logs no defects for either. That pattern suggests administrative or non-mechanical refusal rather than escalating wear, though the buyer must confirm the exact failure causes via the full DVSA certificate. Mileage accumulation sits low for an eighteen-year-old car. The odometer advanced just 2,220 miles between October 2023 and October 2024, then only 1,417 miles to the 2025 test. Such restrained use implies light running or prolonged storage. The rapid turnaround between fail and pass—nine days in 2023 with 54 miles added, six days in 2024 with 22 miles—shows the owner addressed the issue swiftly. Sparse recorded data leaves little evidence of neglected consumables, but the low yearly average masks potential deterioration from standing. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection focused on age-related mechanical items the MOT sheet does not capture. Peugeot 307 platforms of this era suffer corroded subframes and suspension mounting points; examine the underside for structural rust. Check suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing after long idle periods. Binding calipers and lipped brake discs often develop on cars covering under 6,000 miles yearly, so test the brakes for free movement. Verify exhaust emissions and tyre sidewall condition, as rubber degrades with time irrespective of tread depth. The earlier failures with no listed defects warrant a request for the original refusal notices. Previous keepers clearly kept the car lightly used and secured prompt retests, but the absence of advisories does not exempt the vehicle from thorough pre-purchase scrutiny of its chassis and running gear.
