2006 Peugeot 407 2.0L Diesel · KS06 ACJ

The vehicle currently holds a clean bill of health, with the most recent MOT on 10 March 2026 at 78,848 miles resulting in a pass with no recorded defects. This indicates a highly stable maintenance trend, as the car has successfully navigated four consecutive annual inspections without a single advisory notice. The failed test on 24 May 2023 at 71,417 miles appears to be a clerical or administrative anomaly, given that the vehicle passed just six days later with no repairs documented. At twenty years old, the recorded mileage of 78,848 miles remains exceptionally low, averaging under 4,000 miles per annum. This suggests the vehicle has likely spent significant periods in storage or served as a secondary car. While low mileage often preserves the drivetrain, long-term standing can lead to the degradation of rubber components, such as suspension bushes, coolant hoses, and seals, which may not always manifest as immediate MOT failures but could require attention soon. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components that suffer from age-related deterioration rather than high-mileage wear. Inspect the underside for surface corrosion on the subframes and exhaust system, as the low annual usage may have allowed moisture to settle in areas that would otherwise be kept clear by regular heat cycles. Check the condition of the tyres for sidewall cracking or flat spots caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. Although the MOT history is clean, verify that the timing belt has been replaced based on time intervals rather than mileage, as this component is critical for preventing catastrophic engine failure in this specific Peugeot model.
