2007 Peugeot 307 1.6L Diesel · KW56 YDB

The Peugeot 307 passed its most recent MOT on 8 September 2025 at 156,514 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy as of that test. The maintenance trend shows a clean bill of health at the latest examination, but the preceding weeks tell a different story. Between 10 July and 28 August 2025 the car failed four consecutive tests at mileages from 155,122 to 156,498, each logged with no defects recorded by the tester. That pattern points to administrative or presentation failures rather than mechanical faults, though it suggests the vehicle changed hands or was taken off the road and hastily prepared for sale. Recorded mileage rose from 145,511 at the July 2024 pass to 155,122 by the July 2025 failure, an annual gain of roughly 9,600 miles, marginally above the lifetime average of 8,238. The jump to 156,514 by September 2025 adds only 1,392 miles across two months, indicating the car sat largely idle after the test cycle closed. At 19 years old and 156,514 miles the odometer sits within expected bounds for the model year, so no concerning accumulation or unexplained gap appears in the longer record. The absence of any advisories across the full history is unusual for a 2007 hatchback at this mileage. A buyer should still inspect structural corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points, as the MOT system logs none only at the tested date and cannot confirm condition between tests. Check front suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear manually given the age. The repeated zero-defect failures without a stated reason warrant caution about how the car was presented to testers. Verify the V5C and ask the seller for the four failure certificates to confirm no concealed mechanical rejection sits behind the clean pass.
