2002 Peugeot 306 Meridian D 1.9L Diesel · SX02 AMK

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on the 27 November 2024 test at 159,363 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, despite a technical failure recorded just weeks prior on 10 November 2024 at 158,915 miles. Since the subsequent retest showed no defects, it suggests that the owner addressed the identified faults immediately to bring the car back to minimum legal standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,640 miles per year. There is a notable period of lower usage between January 2020 and January 2022, where the car covered only 17,088 miles. However, usage has increased significantly between early 2022 and late 2024, with 14,378 miles covered in under three years. This recent surge in mileage indicates the vehicle is currently being used regularly, which accelerates the wear on rubber components and suspension bushings. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the sills, as older Peugeot 306 models are prone to corrosion in these areas. While the recent history shows no active defects, the previous failure in November 2024 warrants a check of the specific components that caused the initial rejection. Given the age and mileage, a thorough look at leaks around the shock absorbers and the condition of the brake lines is essential to ensure the vehicle is not nearing a mechanical failure.
