2007 Peugeot 307 1.6L Petrol · PL57 TAV

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile characterized by a worsening trend of reactive repairs rather than preventative maintenance. The most recent recorded test in October 2021 at 106,657 miles resulted in a failure across multiple critical systems, including a radiator leak, a broken exhaust mounting, and a worn track rod end. Given that no MOT has been recorded for nearly five years, the vehicle is likely unroadworthy and the mechanical state of the components has undoubtedly deteriorated significantly since that final failed inspection. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 106,657 miles represents a low average of approximately 5,600 miles per year. While low mileage often suggests less wear, the data indicates the car may have sat stationary for long periods. Between October 2019 and 2021, the vehicle covered only 7,242 miles, yet it suffered multiple mechanical failures. This pattern of infrequent use often leads to the degradation of rubber seals, hoses, and fluid components, which aligns with the reported coolant leak and corrosion noted in the history. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the steering and suspension geometry, as the record shows recurring issues with track rod ends and steering rack play spanning from 2019 to 2021. The repeated failures regarding low tyre tread depth on inner edges suggest persistent alignment issues or worn components that were never properly addressed. Specific attention is required for the exhaust system and the cooling system, as the previous corrosion and radiator leaks indicate structural vulnerabilities that have likely worsened during the long period of inactivity. The parking brake must also be tested for effectiveness following the previously reported inoperability in 2019.
