T341 BLJ MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
5 MOT tests are recorded for this 1999 Peugeot 306 (T341 BLJ) between September 2022 and October 2024.
The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.
The most recent test on 14 October 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (10 issues), Lighting (8 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues), Tyres (2 issues), Brakes (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 20 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Offside Front Suspension arm attachment bracket/mounting insecure rear bolt missing (5.3.3 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Rear Seat belt buckle missing (7.1.2 (d))”; “Nearside Headlamp aim too high (4.1.2 (a))”.

Our Verdict
Proceed with extreme caution. This 1999
Given the vehicle's age and high mileage, any purchase should be preceded by a thorough mechanical inspection. Focus heavily on the underside of the car; the MOT history shows persistent corrosion in suspension component mounting areas dating back to at least 2022. You should also ask for evidence of recent work regarding the CV boot and exhaust leak noted in the 2024 records.
Negotiate based on the documented oil leak, which has been an advisory since at least 2022. Check the service history to see if the high mileage has been met with regular oil changes, as the presence of an ongoing oil leak is a point of concern for a diesel engine of this era. Ensure the windscreen washer and seat belt buckles are fully functional, as these were recent failure points.
As a 1999 1905cc diesel, running costs will be influenced by its age and emissions standards. Fuel economy should be relatively efficient for a car of this era, but maintenance costs are likely to be higher due to the age-related component failures seen in the MOT data.
Insurance groups for older Peugeots are typically low, but you should confirm the specific group for this 1.9L engine. Expect frequent small repairs related to suspension, seals, and exhaust components. The estimated annual running cost is higher than a modern equivalent due to the potential for unexpected mechanical attention.
A critical inspection point is the suspension system. The MOT history shows a history of corrosion on mounting areas (nearside rear, offside front, and offside rear) and a specific failure in 2024 regarding a corroded offside front suspension arm attachment bracket. You must check the severity of this corrosion.
Additionally, inspect the drive shafts and CV boots, as the nearside outer joint was noted as 'severely deteriorated' in late 2024. Check for signs of the 'not excessive' oil leak mentioned in multiple tests to ensure it hasn't worsened. Finally, examine the tyre wear patterns; the 2024 MOT noted inner edge wear on the front tyres, which indicates an alignment or suspension geometry issue.
This blue 1.9L diesel Peugeot 306 has covered 240,256 miles since its first registration in April 1999. The MOT history reveals a pattern of recurring issues, specifically regarding suspension corrosion, oil leaks, and tyre wear. While it passed its most recent test in October 2024, the record shows multiple failures and advisories over the last few years.
No aggregate reliability data is available for the Peugeot 306 to provide a comparative benchmark.
