2007 Peugeot 307 1.6L Petrol · KS07 FLW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive repairing rather than proactive preventative care. The most recent test in September 2025 at 134,502 miles shows the car passing with several advisories regarding a minor exhaust leak, lighting failures, and an offside front tyre reaching the legal limit. While the car is passing, the recurring nature of lighting faults and exhaust issues across multiple years suggests that defects are only addressed when they threatening an MOT pass or become obvious. At 134,502 miles, this Peugeot 307 has averaged approximately 7,000 miles per year, which is consistent with its 19-year age. The data shows steady usage, with roughly 6,000 miles covered between the October 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 5,200 miles in the year leading up to the previous inspection. This consistent accumulation suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, but the total mileage places significant stress on the age-related rubber components and suspension artwork. A buyer must scrutinise the front suspension and engine mounts, as the October 2023 failure at 123,060 miles revealed an excessively worn lower suspension arm ball joint, a missing steering rack gaiter, and a damaged front engine mounting. Although these were reportedly repaired, the subsequent advisory for worn rear shock absorbers in 2023 indicates the suspension system is nearing the end of its functional life. The 2022 report of corroded rear coil springs further highlights a need to check for structural rust on the rear sills and mounting points. The exhaust system requires close attention due to a persistent minor leak noted in both 2024 and 2025, following a previous failed emissions test in late 2023. Additionally, the braking system shows signs of thinning, with thin rear pads flagged in 2024 and worn discs noted in 2023. The corrosion on the towbar components mentioned across three consecutive years should be inspected to ensure it has not compromised the structural integrity of the assembly.
