PEUGEOT 2072012 · 1.4L PETROL

The 2012 Peugeot 207 passed its most recent MOT on 24 April 2026 at 133,933 miles, leaving it roadworthy with a fresh certificate under three months old. The maintenance trend reads as broadly stable across the five-year record, with only minor consumable and peripheral faults logged and no test failures. The April 2026 tester flagged play in the nearside front steering rack inner joint as an advisory, a worn-component signal that warrants monitoring but did not breach the pass threshold. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,567 per year against the 133,933 total, a typical load for a fourteen-year-old car. The records show steady accumulation: 112,415 miles in August 2022, 120,561 by May 2023, 124,796 in April 2024, 128,626 in April 2025, and 133,933 in April 2026. No gaps or surge periods appear. The history is sparse on defects, with clean passes in 2023 and 2025 suggesting the prior owners kept basic statutory testing current even if some wear slipped through between visits. The April 2024 test noted front brake pads wearing thin at 124,796 miles, a consumable item likely replaced soon after. The August 2022 record captured a minor exhaust gas leak front to centre, a nearside rear tyre cracking or perishing, and a non-excessive oil leak at 112,415 miles. None recurred in later tests, implying rectification. The steering rack inner joint play from April 2026 is the only open mechanical concern. A buyer should physically inspect the nearside front steering rack for inner joint wear and confirm no knock-on tyre scrubbing has developed. Check the front exhaust flange and centre section for fresh leaks or corrosion, and verify the engine bay and sump for residual oil weeping. Examine front brake disc and pad thickness directly, and review the rear suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls given the earlier perishing note.
