2008 Peugeot 207 1.6L Diesel · NL58 AEB

The 2008 Peugeot 207 shows a current roadworthy pass from the 20 January 2026 test at 101,184 miles, but the DVSA record also lists a fail on that same date with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the three available annual examinations, with zero advisories or mechanical faults logged between January 2024 and January 2026. At 18 years old the odometer reads 101,184 miles, a low average of 5,621 miles per year. Distance climbed from 92,568 miles at the 25 January 2024 test to 96,585 miles on 23 January 2025, then to 101,184 miles by 20 January 2026. This indicates consistent light use of around 4,000 to 4,600 miles annually. The sparse three-year history reveals no gaps or sudden mileage spikes, though pre-2024 records are absent. Despite the clean defect list, the car's age and low running demand a physical inspection of wear-prone items. The tester flagged no degraded suspension bushes, broken coil springs, binding calipers, pitted brake discs, or structural corrosion, yet extended standing can mask such conditions. A buyer should examine front and rear suspension for perished rubber, confirm caliper slide freedom, check exhaust emissions on cold start, and inspect sills and subframe for rust. The twin fail and pass entries with no recorded defects on both 23 January 2025 and 20 January 2026 point to administrative anomalies rather than mechanical rejection. A buyer must clarify these with DVSA to rule out an unlogged fault such as lighting or paperwork. The record implies previous owners kept the car to a basic test schedule, but the lack of defect data restricts judgement on deeper mechanical care.
