2010 Peugeot 207 1.6L Petrol · PX10 AOW

This 2010 Peugeot 207 presents an exceptionally clean MOT record for a vehicle of its age. The most recent test in November 2025 at 82,571 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a same-day failure that also listed no defects. This pattern of a fail followed immediately by a pass with identical mileage and no advisories suggests the initial failure was likely a procedural or administrative issue rather than a mechanical one. The maintenance trend is stable and, notably, improving, as the vehicle has accumulated three consecutive passes with zero advisory items, which is uncommon for a sixteen-year-old car. The recorded mileage of 82,571 miles equates to roughly 5,160 miles per year, which is below the national average for a vehicle of this age. The annual test intervals show consistent usage: 70,200 miles in October 2023, 75,548 miles in October 2024, and 82,571 miles in November 2025. This equates to roughly 5,300 miles between the first two tests and 7,000 miles between the second and third, indicating a slight increase in annual use but no evidence of prolonged standing or irregular mileage gaps. The odometer readings are consistent and suggest a vehicle that has been used regularly but not heavily. Given the absence of any recorded defects or advisories across three consecutive tests, the MOT history does not flag any specific recurring mechanical or structural concerns. However, a buyer should still conduct a thorough in-person inspection, as a clean MOT record does not guarantee the condition of ageing components. Pay close attention to the condition of rubber suspension bushes, anti-roll bar links, and coil springs, which are known to corrode or crack on this model. Brake discs and callipers should be checked for binding or uneven wear, and the underside should be examined for structural corrosion, particularly around the rear axle mounting points and sills. The low annual mileage may also mean the car has been used for short journeys, so check the exhaust system for internal deterioration and ensure the engine reaches full operating temperature without issues.
