2002 Peugeot 307 1.4L Diesel · KV02 AJY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of recurring suspension and lighting issues. In the most recent test in February 2026 at 126,564 miles, the car passed after an initial failure for a failed rear position lamp and a corroded offside front coil spring. While the immediate faults were rectified, the persistent presence of spring corrosion across multiple years suggests a reactive approach to mechanical upkeep rather than preventative under-treatment. At 126,564 miles, this 24-year-old Peugeot reflects low annual mileage, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 3,800 miles recorded between January 2024 and February 2025, and another 2,700 miles leading into the February 2026 test. This low-mileage use often leads to the degradation of rubber components and the accumulation of corrosion due to vehicle standing, which aligns with the structural concerns noted on the front suspension components. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry. The tester flagged both the nearside and offside front coil springs for corrosion in February 2025, and the offside spring remained a failure point until February 2026. This indicates the springs are reaching the end of their fatigue life, and a check for cracks or sagging is essential. Additionally, the transmission oil leak noted in the February 2026 test, while deemed not excessive, requires monitoring to ensure it does not escalate into a more significant mechanical failure.
