2008 Peugeot 307 2.0L Diesel · KM08 YYL

The vehicle shows a history of inconsistent maintenance, though the most recent recorded test in April 2022 suggests a period of stability. While the 2022 pass followed a failure involving a fractured nearside front coil spring and a position lamp, no further defects were noted at that time. The overall maintenance trend appears to fluctuate between resolving mechanical issues and neglecting basic consumable upkeep, particularly regarding lighting and tyres. The vehicle has covered 179,547 miles over approximately 18 years, averaging roughly 10,000 miles per year. This usage pattern is consistent with typical domestic driving. The mileage progression is steady, with 26,000 miles recorded between the April 2020 and April 2022 tests. However, the MOT data is now significantly outdated, with the last recorded test occurring over four years ago in April 2022. This gap represents a substantial period of unverified roadworthiness. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and steering components. The record shows recurring failures related to suspension arm bushes, ball joints, and steering rack inner joints, specifically during the 2020 and 2021 tests. The 2022 failure for a broken coil spring indicates that structural fatigue in the suspension is a known issue for this chassis. It is essential to check for play in the track rod ends and the integrity of all suspension bushes to ensure these previous faults have been permanently rectified rather than merely patched. Attention should also be paid to the braking system and electrical components. The 2018 test flagged thinning brake linings, and the history shows frequent failures for non-functional lamps and headlamp aim issues. Given the age and mileage, the buyer should inspect the condition of the brake discs and calipers for corrosion or binding, alongside a full check of the lighting system and the supplementary restraint system, which previously triggered a warning lamp in 2020.
