AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The Peugeot 306 has a current roadworthiness status of passed as per the most recent MOT test on 2026-04-30 at 161,648 miles. However, the maintenance trend is concerning, with recurring faults indicating a worsening pattern. The vehicle has failed three MOT tests in the past, with the most recent failure in 2025-04-24 highlighting excessively worn offside front lower suspension arm ball joints and corroded offside front brake pipe. The vehicle's mileage of 161,648 miles, accumulated over approximately 25 years, is roughly typical for its age, translating to around 6,466 miles per year. There are no notable gaps in the mileage record, suggesting consistent use. However, the rapid accumulation of mileage in 2019-2020, with over 9,000 miles added in just two years, may indicate increased usage or neglect during that period. A buyer should be aware of the vehicle's recurring faults, particularly with the suspension and brakes. The excessive wear on the offside front lower suspension arm ball joints and corroded brake pipes in 2025 and 2023, respectively, suggest a need for immediate attention. Furthermore, the vehicle's history of oil leaks, coolant leaks, and damaged drive shafts indicates potential issues with the engine and transmission. Additionally, the corroded coil spring in 2020 and damaged wheel bearing in 2020 highlight the need for a thorough inspection of the suspension and steering components.
