PEUGEOT 2072012 · 1.4L Petrol

The 2012 Peugeot 207 passed its most recent MOT on 3 September 2024 at 95,567 miles with only a worn offside rear tyre advisory, confirming the vehicle remains roadworthy and the maintenance trend is stable rather than worsening. The history shows no failures across five consecutive tests from March 2021 to September 2024, with faults limited to minor consumable wear and light corrosion. Prior owners kept the car legally compliant, though the repeated tyre edge wear hints at deferred basic upkeep on rear rubber. The odometer climbed from 76,242 miles in March 2021 to 95,567 miles by September 2024, averaging roughly 6,400 miles per year against a 14-year life of 6,826 miles per annum. The record shows no rapid accumulation or suspicious gaps; the longest interval was the six-month slippage between the March 2021 and October 2021 tests, which still fell within legal limits. Mileage is typical for age and suggests steady, moderate use rather than neglect through standing or hard driving. Recurring rear tyre edge wear appeared in the 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 tests, always on the offside and sometimes nearside. This pattern points to worn rear suspension bushes or misaligned geometry allowing scrub on the tyre shoulder. A buyer should measure rear toe and camber and inspect the trailing arm bushes for play before purchase. The March 2021 test flagged corroded nearside and offside rear coil springs, and the October 2021 test noted a defective offside rear exhaust mounting. Neither recurred in later records, implying repair or acceptable stabilisation. Inspect the rear spring seats and exhaust hangers in person for fresh corrosion or fatigue, as Peugeot 207 rear suspension mounts are prone to structural rust in older units.
