2008 Peugeot 207 1.4L Petrol · HV58 AAX

The most recent MOT on 2021-10-28 showed the vehicle passed with minor issues: an oil leak (not excessive), a damaged offside rear tyre, and a worn front inner brake disc. However, a prior MOT on 2021-10-27 (just one day earlier) resulted in a failure, adding a fractured offside rear coil spring to the list of defects. This suggests the vehicle had multiple simultaneous issues, some of which were addressed before the subsequent pass. Recurring defects include oil leaks, which appeared in 2021, 2020, and 2019 MOTs, though never classified as severe. The front inner brake disc showed wear in 2021, while the offside rear tyre’s condition persisted across two MOTs. A fractured coil spring in 2021 was a more serious structural issue, indicating potential suspension weakness. These patterns suggest ongoing maintenance needs, particularly for sealing components and suspension integrity. The trend shows mixed signals. While some issues (like the oil leak) remained consistent, the failure in 2021 introduced a new, more critical defect (coil spring) that may have been resolved by the later pass. However, the proximity of the failure and pass (one day apart) raises questions about whether the vehicle was repaired promptly or if the failure was a clerical error.
