PEUGEOT 2072008 · 1.4L Diesel

The Peugeot 207 passed its most recent MOT on 15 July 2025 at 159,726 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy on paper. The maintenance trend appears stable across the three years of data, with each annual test resulting in a clean pass after a same-day failure that logged no defects, suggesting administrative re-tests rather than mechanical rectification. No advisories or worn components appear anywhere in the record. Annual mileage sits at a typical 8,874 per year for an 18-year-old car, confirmed by the odometer climbing from 152,252 miles at the 11 July 2023 test to 156,077 miles in July 2024 and 159,726 miles in July 2025. The gaps of roughly 3,800 and 3,650 miles between tests show consistent, moderate use with no sudden accumulation or long standing periods. The sparse, clean history gives little indication of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass pairs at 156,077 and 159,726 miles with no defects listed point to clerical or presentation issues at the testing station rather than recurring mechanical faults. Buyers should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and 159,726 miles. The absence of advisories in the official record does not exempt an 2008 chassis from age-related structural fatigue. A pre-purchase check should confirm exhaust emissions, tyre condition, and steering joint play that a no-defect MOT may not have scrutinised closely. The previous owners kept the mileage ordinary and the test outcomes clean, but eighteen years on the road demands hands-on verification beyond DVSA data alone.
