2004 Peugeot 307 2.0L Petrol · SL54 MWP

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward mechanical and fluid neglect. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 80,709 miles resulted in a pass, it highlighted a persistent oil leak and a minor exhaust leak. These issues followed a failure just one day prior in October 2025, which also identified illegal tyre tread depths and headlamp misalignment. The data suggests that the current owner is only addressing faults once they trigger a failure rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 22 years old, the recorded mileage of 80,709 miles is remarkably low, averaging approximately 3,669 miles per year. There is a significant two-year gap between December 2022 and October 2024, during which the car covered only 96 miles. This pattern of intermittent use suggests the vehicle sits for long periods, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components, seal failure, and brake corrosion. The pitted brake discs noted in late 2022 are a common symptom of such inactivity. A buyer must closely inspect the engine bay to determine the severity of the oil leak flagged in late 2025. Given the low mileage and age, this could stem from dried-out gaskets or seals exacerbated by long periods. The suspension requires a thorough check, specifically the corroded coil springs identified in 2022, to ensure no structural integrity has been compromised by rust. Furthermore, the exhaust system should be checked for the source of the gas leak, as unaddressed leaks can eventually lead to future emissions failures.
